Beggars at Hillmorton shops
Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone knows if there is any community organisation that looks out for the regulars that sit outside the shops at Hillmorton? In particular the woman, who is in a bad state. She walks/limps around the area but it appears to be getting harder for her. She used to wear shoes but not now. Her body and clothes are filthy and when I saw her close up yesterday, was quite shocked. Both the areas around her eyes were black, like when someone has a black eye but I suspect some medical issue. I think she lives at the flats at the back of the old Hoon Hay WMC but not sure. Anyway just wondering if her and others there, do get any help??
Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
