Do you have a favourite mural in your town?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The Boon Street Art Festival used to simply be an opportunity to wander around Hamilton and observe the city’s murals as they were being created.

But no more. The upcoming 2025 festival, from March 13 to 16, will be a much more interactive affair.

Do you have a favourite mural in your town? Tell us what, where and why in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Poll: Do you think we need another major player in the supermarket sector?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

This is not a drill. Nicola Willis is on a mission. The finance minister and still relatively new “economic growth” minister has lobbed a huge bomb into the groceries sector: the threat of de-mergers.

In ordinary parlance, Woolies and Foodstuffs might be compelled to sell of some of their supermarket brands or split up their wholesale and retail operations.
