Declutter and organise photos with Peter Walsh

Hilda Ross Retirement Village

Peter is helping us out with something that nearly everyone can relate to – dealing with the unsorted photos taking up space on your phone or languishing in boxes in your home.

New series: Waikato Times joins small town council meetings to see democracy in action

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Waitomo mayor John Roberston isn’t shy about his council’s savings and cost cutting track record, and if the latest Waitomo District Council meeting was anything to go by, he’s got plenty to crow about.
