Will a Waikato town be the first in NZ to go plastic free?
Hi Waikato,
Did you know Ngatea could become New Zealand's first plastic bag-free town? Ngatea Boomerang Bags founding member Judy Jamieson would like to see the town plastic bag-free before Christmas. Are you still using plastic bags? What's your community's stance on them? Let us know in the replies! To read more, click here.

What's your favourite piece of Waikato history?
Car parks inspired a milking shed design that took off around the world and became a piece of Waikato District history.
A hundred-year-old church and gravestones from the 1880s will also feature as the district turns the spotlight on its past for its first Heritage Day on April 20.
Got some stuff in the back of your closet to sell off?
The biggest ‘self-serve flea supermarket’ in New Zealand is about to open in Hamilton.
Re:Circle is coming to 313 Victoria Street on May 1, a space that has been vacant since the Ministry of Social Development left the building in 2019.
