Celebrate Community - March 1st to 31st š„³š
This month is all about bringing your community together and having a great time! We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isnāt the houses and cars, gardens and streets - itās the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.
A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which takes place from 27 March - 5 April. This yearās theme is āSmall Things Make a Big Differenceā - we couldnāt agree more!
Let us know how youāre celebrating by email or tag us online and include the following hashtag:

Poll: Do you think this was the right decision?
Hamilton City Council is defending a $60,000 spend on a flood of water management PR featuring a TV personality as residents face huge rates rises.
At a time of council cash constraints, Te Radar - real name Andrew Lumsden - catches the eye on the councilās Facebook page, where he currently features in three āexplainerā video clips about Hamiltonās water services.
Do you think this was the right decision? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

One of the latest areas to have a section of the road blocked off is State Highway 1 between PutÄruru to Tokoroa as part of a massive renewal project that extends down to Waiouru.
