Have you ever been in The Grandstand?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

Borer damage has been found in the heritage-listed building at Claudelands and it's likely to be closed for at least a year.

It was originally built in Cambridge in 1878 and a council leader said it's understood borer is not unusual in buildings from that era.

Crash hazard

John from Rototuna

Cars from hospital ED coming down hill towards Ohaupo Road either fail to see or take no notice of the Give Way signs facing them. Just turning right into Hague St yesterday I aborted the turn and was just missed by a car coming down the hill without even slackening speed as he passed the signs. … View moreCars from hospital ED coming down hill towards Ohaupo Road either fail to see or take no notice of the Give Way signs facing them. Just turning right into Hague St yesterday I aborted the turn and was just missed by a car coming down the hill without even slackening speed as he passed the signs. The people designing junctions need to consider the psychology. It's far more natural to go straight through than to stop for cars turning across their path.

You’re invited to boost high-impact conservation funding

The Team from Momentum Waikato

There are simply too many good conservation projects asking for support, all of them offering volunteer time-and-energy and well-designed plans to counter local ecological challenges but needing resources to enable the actual work.

There are simply too many good conservation projects asking for support, all of them offering volunteer time-and-energy and well-designed plans to counter local ecological challenges but needing resources to enable the actual work.

That’s the ongoing challenge facing the Waikato Catchment Ecological Enhancement Trust – the WCEET, and why they have partnered in a new public donation initiative with Momentum Waikato.

“Without any promotion, our funding rounds are always over-subscribed,” says WCEET Chair Gwyn Verkerk.

“So we’ve set up the WCEET Fund with Momentum Waikato, as both a new investment income stream in its own right, and to provide an easy way for the public to donate towards the expansion and long-term sustainability of this crucial local conservation funding.”

September is Wills Month, so we recommend having a read of the Will Information Pack from Community Foundations of New Zealand - see cdn.blutui.com....

A gift in your Will - a 'Bequest' - to Momentum Waikato is the most effective way you can help 'Create a better Waikato for everyone forever'.

We know the content of a Will is a very personal thing and that your first priority is always to provide for the people you care about. Our offer is something to consider once you're satisfied you've sorted out everything else.

By notifying us of your intent, we can express our gratitude and discuss appropriate recognition.

Bequests to Momentum can be tagged so its resulting and ongoing investment income can go to a specific purpose or charity of your choice, or untagged so we can use it to invest in our transformational projects.

The more we know about your wishes, the better we are able to honour your intentions in full.

Making a bequest is straightforward. If you are interested in having a confidential, obligation-free conversation please contact Janice Lapwood on 022 151 2854 or janice@momentumwaikato.nz.

It’s been a privilege to serve as your Mayor over the last three years. I’m running again because I love Hamilton and want to keep building on our work.

I want a safer city that’s easy to get around and celebrates its people, achievements and natural beauty. When it comes to three waters, I voted against it as it’s not right for Hamilton.

Voting papers are currently being delivered to letterboxes around Hamilton.

I’m asking for your support to be re-elected as Mayor.
