Poll: Do you think Santa parades are a core service for councils?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

South Waikato district councillors will soon face the vexed question of whether Santa Parades are core council services, or simply “nice to haves”.

Last year was the first time in 35 years Tokoroa locals missed seeing Santa Claus roll down Bridge St after volunteers from the Tokoroa City Lions Club pulled the pin on their annual parade due to escalating costs for health and safety and traffic management regulations.

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The rural sector will pull the country out of recession, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon told farmers at Mystery Creek on Tuesday.

Luxon’s main message was that farmers are not villains, they are “partners” of the Government and the saviours of the New Zealand economy.
