FIRE at Dominion Park Playground
My husband & I were out for a walk when we saw smoke billowing from the public toilets at Dominion Park Playground. We immediately called 111 & help plus a fire engine was there very quickly. 2 boys were seen running away from the scene & another child volunteered their names, which have been passed on to the Fire Brigade. Perhaps these 2 boys will be exhibiting signs of guilt or bravado. Whether there will be any follow-up I'm not sure, but they were said to be local. Perhaps all parents should talk with their children about the dangers & stupidity of fire & similar vandalism

Three years’ worth of cocaine snorted in three months
More cocaine was taken across Waikato in the last three months than three whole years in the early 2020s.
That’s according to wastewater drug testing carried out by Crown research institute ESR for police.
Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato?
New data has pinpointed Hamilton’s most dangerous intersections, including a high risk Cobham Drive turn off that a resident and driving experts believe should be shut for good.
While that turn into Grey St has resulted in the highest number of injuries, most crashes occurred at the bustling intersection of Te Rapa Straight and Wairere Drive.
Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
