Poll: Do you think the new rules will help?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A Waikato council is attempting to put the brakes on boy racers by banning light vehicles on several rural roads.

A new bylaw by Waipā District Council means police now have the power to issue warning notices and impound cars of rule breakers.

Do you think the new rules will help? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

Poll: Does grocery bagging affect where you shop?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.

Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.

Homeless in Hamilton

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

They are an ever-increasing presence on the streets of the city - but asking Hamilton’s homeless how they ended up where they are is not always a straight-forward exercise.

Many are wary, or perhaps intimidated about talking to a reporter and a photographer. Some were simply incapable of saying anything. Others wanted to say everything they possibly could.
