Are you worried about safety at home?
An 84-year-old was left feeling insecure and vulnerable in one of Hamilton’s “bad neighbourhoods” after police cut down her wire fence chasing suspected robbers.
More than four months after the incident the woman, who mostly lives by herself, says she is “disgusted with the police” and their lack of action - especially as her section backs onto a gully often used as a thoroughfare for people up to no good.
In a strange twist, police contacted her son about the repairs only hours after being approached by the Waikato Times for comment.

Poll: Do you think Hamilton needs more all-day parking?
Hamilton councillors have agreed to an extra 85 all day paid parking spaces in the central city.
The vast majority of the 365 metres of extra space will be in Seddon Rd with just 40 metres in Ward St after a vote by the traffic, speed limit and road closure hearings panel.
