Poll: Would a new supermarket help NZ?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Nicola Willis will this weekend announce decisions taken by Cabinet to incentivise and encourage a third supermarket player alongside FoodStuffs and Progressive (Woolworths).

Do you think having a third supermarket chain will bring competition and lower grocery prices, or will the existing giants still dominate?

Poll: Do you think this block should be overturned?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

State housing provider Kāinga Ora wants a court to overturn planning restrictions that prevent the building of multi-storey state homes in heritage housing areas like Hamilton East.

Currently development in those zones is restricted by Hamilton City Council’s controversial Plan Change 9.

Do you think this block should be overturned? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Poll: What do you want the speed limit to be here?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Traffic will soon be going 20kph faster through one of Hamilton’s worst crash spots, unless a speed limit reversal is reversed.

The “very dangerous” Cobham Drive intersection with Grey St - near Hamilton Gardens - sits in the middle of a stretch of road where the 60kph speed limit is due to be reversed to 80kph in July.

What do you want the speed limit to be here? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
