The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

A pinch-point roundabout in Hillcrest, Hamilton, is being replaced with traffic lights in a bid to improve traffic flow.

It's the intersection of State Highway 1C Cobham Drive and Cambridge Road and work will start on January 4 2023.

A pinch-point roundabout in Hillcrest, Hamilton, is being replaced with traffic lights in a bid to improve traffic flow.

It's the intersection of State Highway 1C Cobham Drive and Cambridge Road and work will start on January 4 2023.

It's expected to take about six months, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency said.

“The current roundabout is a pinch point for Hamilton, particularly for people travelling between the central city and Cambridge, and with increasing traffic volumes and flows, it is no longer fit for purpose,” regional manager for infrastructure delivery Jo Wilton said.

It is a real pleasure to have again worked with Craigs' Investment Partners on the Waikato section of their nationwide Christmas Giving programme.

This year they have made a $150,000 of Christmas donations to local communities across New Zealand.

With our assistance, Craigs' Hamilton Branch chose a diverse range of local charities to support, and then we delivered the funds - to Rural Support Trust, Kids in Need Waikato (pictured), Otorohanga Community Foodbank, Te Awamutu Community Food Forest, Friends of Mangaonua Esplanade Silverdale (pictured), and Operation Christmas Hamper.

The donations have been gratefully received and put to good use. For instance, Kids in Need Waikato say: “it went towards backpacks that children will receive this Christmas, perfect for starting the new school year next year.”

We’re always happy to help spread such seasonal cheer!
