Poll: Do you think bylaws are the right option?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Gone are the golden days of wrap-around services and showering in the CBD’s fountains for Hamilton’s streeties, with new bylaws on the way to “take back the CBD”.

Ewan Wilson, Hamilton City west ward councillor says the “soft-touch” approach that’s been taken by the council to address the anti-social behaviour in the CBD isn’t working, and anti-social behaviour is “eroding“ the “essence of the city”.

Have you been to Waitomo recently?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

One of the region’s premier tourist locations is shaking off its long Covid hangover as a new caving experience opens near Waitomo promising local jobs, and a boost to visitor numbers after the pandemic decimated local businesses.

Co-owner and founder of The Waitomo Experience, John Heskett said pre-Covid there were more than five black water rafting operators working in the caves beneath Waitomo, but that number dropped down to just one.
