Urgent water savings this evening in Hamilton

The Team from Hamilton City Council

Water saving needed for northeast suburbs
Urgent water-saving measures are being requested this evening (Tuesday 5 December 2017) in the north-eastern suburbs of Hamilton. A combination of unprecedented water usage for this time of the year, coupled with an unexpected issue in a planned maintenance project, are likely to result in very low and fluctuating water pressure.
To help us maintain supply, we are requesting all non-essential water usage be halted throughout the city, particularly in the northeast. Please don’t water your gardens this evening, and conserve water where possible.
Thanks for your assistance. There will be further updates later this evening on Hamilton City Council's facebook page.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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 think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.

Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Computer Help.

Ruth from Queenwood

My favourite computer people, PC Heroes, seem to have disappeared? Can anyone suggest a business that can come and go over our devices updating as necessary?
