Poll: Do you think council elections should be every four years?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Waikato’s elected leaders want people to vote for them less often.

The region’s mayors and the regional council chairperson are throwing their collective weight behind calls to extend council terms from three to four years.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We've all been on a summer roadie and experienced first-hand the state of our roads.

Tell us what main road or highway you think needs some serious attention across the country, and why!

Poll: Do you think we need another major player in the supermarket sector?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

This is not a drill. Nicola Willis is on a mission. The finance minister and still relatively new “economic growth” minister has lobbed a huge bomb into the groceries sector: the threat of de-mergers.

In ordinary parlance, Woolies and Foodstuffs might be compelled to sell of some of their supermarket brands or split up their wholesale and retail operations.
