Hi neighbours,

A multi-million dollar home in Hamilton didn't have any trouble finding a buyer during lockdown.

The lakeside home on Lake Domain Drive sold for $3.2 million just three days after moving into alert level 3 and estate agents believe it set a new record for an individual property in the city.

Not a bad view, indeed.

Hi neighbours,

It was a special day in the newsroom on Monday as Stuff's chief executive Sinead Boucher announced a management buyout of the company, of which the Waikato Times is a part, from its Australian owner Nine Entertainment.

It puts an end to NZME's increasingly desperate bid to get its clutches on Stuff. It also puts it firmly in the hands of those who want the best for it, a NZ owner who understands the business.

What's your view on the Times moving back into NZ hands?

Read more local reaction to the buyout here.

Poll: What do you think of CCTV on private homes?

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

I'm writing a story about CCTV security cameras on homes, what's the best system, how to install them, and whether or not they're a useful deterrent.
I wondered what you thought about private security cameras. Are they good for the neighbourhood? Or a sign troubled communities?

2020 ACT Candidate for the Waikato Electorate

James from Flagstaff

Greetings neighbours,

Just a very quick post to introduce myself following the announcement of most of our candidates this week.

I’m a Hamilton local and live here with my wife and daughter. I own and manage several small businesses, including an immigration law firm. I also work for a large NGO in the mental health sector, and am involved in a range of community organisations (with a focus on the arts and music).

Happy to answer what I can, but please keep it civil. Political candidates from all parties receive an unbelievable amount of abusive emails and messages from the general public and I would quite like to discourage that where I can!

Please note that I generally won’t be posting on Neighbourly, rather the best way to stay up to date is by liking my public page: www.facebook.com...
