Vandalism is costing ratepayers - what can be done to better protect our public spaces?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Vandals have repeatedly damaged public amenities across the Waikato District, leaving ratepayers to pick up the bill. So far in 2025, the cost has climbed to nearly $123,000, reports the Waikato Times.

The council is urging residents to report vandalism as soon as possible.
If you witness vandalism in progress, please contact the police immediately.

We want to know: Do you have ideas on how we can better protect our public spaces?
