Hamilton mourns the loss of community champion Lisa Nepia

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Lisa Nepia never gave up on her mission to feed hungry people, at one point organising food parcels even while in hospital after having a leg amputated.

Hamilton’s overloaded sewer pipes have scuttled about 750 potential developments in a little over two years, council figures show.

The sewerage situation prompted a city council clamp-down in 2023, effectively shutting down development in large parts of the city to avoid putting the system under extra pressure.

But the constraints - and the council’s response - seem to have “severely dented the confidence” of investors, city councillor Sarah Thomson says.

Have you seen this kind of behaviour in the supermarket?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

OPINION: The air of light-hearted joy, combined with purpose, as she bustled down the supermarket aisle set her apart.

Amid the weekend morning shoppers, slump-shouldered as they dutifully knocked off another chore by getting the groceries, she swaggered.

Has anyone else been seeing the drone flying over forest Lake during the last couple of months?

Seems to enjoy hanging around Minogue park and only seems to come out during the evening after dark

Just expressing my concern due to fact it flew over my neighbours house and seemed to have a particular interest in people's driveways and my neighbour had their car stolen not long ago

I did report it but nothing has come of it
