Have a Go Day - Tuesday 6 December
You’re invited to come along to this year’s Have a Go Day, Tuesday 6 December 11am-1.30pm in Civic Square, outside Hamilton City Council. Spread the word amongst your clients and colleagues and invite them along!
The Have a Go Day and disability expo provides an excellent opportunity to learn about accessing the region’s bus network, and gain skills and advice to enable people to live the independent life they choose. There will be two buses on site, a disability expo with many local providers, a wheelchair/mobility scooter skills course and plenty of one-on-one advice from BUSIT staff and disability providers.
The day is organised by Waikato Regional Council, Hamilton City Council, Life Unlimited and CCS Disability Action. We hope to see you there!
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

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).
