Hamilton City Council has started with three streets - and some local business owners are hoping to see the end of gatherings that have left debris and rubbish.

Poll: Should we scrap daylight saving?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This Sunday we'll be putting our clocks back for the end of daylight saving. Despite the benefits of an extra hour of sun during daylight saving, these clock changes commonly bring disruptions to our households and sleep - some feel that it should be scrapped altogether. What do you think?

Fridge Freezer

This fridge has two issues, plus couple of scratches etc etc. One issue is that last time I move house it broke the back support feet, so I have been using a piece of wood, as per photo. It's not a big issue to be honest.
The second problem is that I noticed from the last two months the fridge power goes off and it makes a long beep noise. Once I switch the plug off and on again the fridge goes back to normal. It happened few times in two months. I'm not even 100% sure if it's the fridge or a faulty power point.

Very good condition.

Log homes are as special as the people who build them. Handcrafted and individual, these buildings reflect their owners' personalities in a unique way. The art of log building has undergone a worldwide renaissance in recent years, in North America, Japan, the United Kingdom and New Zealand.

In this book New Zealand log builders Bill Knight and Liz Brook set out to describe and illustrate the various stages of building a log home. In clear, lively style they cover cost, drawing up plans, selecting and felling trees, choosing a site, laying foundations, the tools for the job and how they work and the different building techniques.

Facing the Haka examines the significance that the All Blacks' haka has in the wider rugby world, as well as the deep respect opponents have for the team.

This is about standing in front of the haka, meeting the All Blacks on those key occasions, and reliving the stories of the games that followed. Facing the Haka covers many crucial moments in rugby history with great storytelling, fresh insights and all the information a fan could ask for.
