Ruakura Road closure - follow up

Andre from Hamilton East

It was good to see that by Tuesday they had changed the green light cycles for traffic turning right from east Clyde street onto Wairere drive going north to around 8 seconds and 14 seconds. Still not long but a good improvement.
Now all they have to do is make the strip next to Clyde Park a 'no-parking' zone for the duration so cars that want to go straight ahead on Clyde street don't have to sit behind those waiting to turn right, thus reducing the queue for the traffic lights.
As a 'by the way' , most cars parked there belong to the police officers working out of the office across the road.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
