Poll: Do you like the idea of bands at the rugby?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Rugby fans have been left disgruntled, but the Chiefs are defending their big price-hike to tickets − some more than tripling from last week − for Saturday’s action at FMG Stadium Waikato.

It comes as the Super Rugby franchise hosts a unique ‘Rugby and Rhythms’ event featuring a double-header of games at their Hamilton home venue, as well as live music from Kiwi artists in and around the ground.

Fire bosses looking at fourth city station

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Call-out rates for Hamilton’s three fire stations have leapt with city fire bosses now looking at adding a fourth station to keep up with the city’s “fast-growing” population and industrial growth.

Firefighters have been receiving an average of eight call-outs a day, up from six four years ago - a rise that was discussed with city councillors during a briefing from Fire and Emergency NZ’s Hamilton assistant commander Matt Leonard and senior adviser risk reduction George Jensen.

Poll: Do you think we need another major player in the supermarket sector?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

This is not a drill. Nicola Willis is on a mission. The finance minister and still relatively new “economic growth” minister has lobbed a huge bomb into the groceries sector: the threat of de-mergers.

In ordinary parlance, Woolies and Foodstuffs might be compelled to sell of some of their supermarket brands or split up their wholesale and retail operations.
