What's your favourite local landmark?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

It was once the apple of the eye of passers-by but years of neglect have taken the shine taken off Waitomo’s Big Apple.

Now the actions of one woman have seen its owners promise to give the big red apple a polish.

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

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.
