Poll: Are you a fan of the pontoon?
Wellington Street beachgoers won’t have their revamped beach space finished before this summer, but their new favourite “temporary” pontoon is there to stay.
In January last year visitors to the river-side beach told the Waikato Times they were loving the new pontoon installed as a temporary replacement for the tired old jetty.

Poll: Have you ever had a scary flight?
A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?

Aroha from the kitchen for their King
From those working in the food-prep engine room of the ‘dungeon’, through to their mates carrying plates in the dining room - one of the biggest expressions of aroha for King Tuheitia is in the kai to feed his mourners.
With tens of thousands of people descending on Tūrangawaewae for the tangi of Kiingi Tūheitia Pōtatau Te Wherowhero Vll, keeping them fed across most of a the week is no small task.

What vacant sites have you noticed in your town?
A “very big” chunk of the health department’s central city building has been empty since the organisation moved in nearly six years ago, as far as health officials know.
The 2500m² ground floor space in the former Farmers building is soon to be advertised for lease, though a real estate leader says the economic climate could prove tricky.
