What do you think about helping people into homes this way?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

With home ownership slipping further out of reach for many, Bridge Housing Trust has stepped up as a de facto Bank of Mum and Dad.

The housing charity is in its early years but delivered 40 affordable homes last year and wants to double that in 2025.

The trust, chaired by Perry, is donating the 1800m² land, valued at $4 million, and investing another $16m to build a complex of 42 affordable apartments, Hinemoa, in Hamilton’s CBD.

What's one highway or road that needs attention?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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

If you've ever been stuck in a summer traffic jam, had near-misses on dangerous turns or feared for your life on clifftops (while the car behind you is tail-gating!) - you may have an opinion on this one.

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