FIRE at Dominion Park Playground
My husband & I were out for a walk when we saw smoke billowing from the public toilets at Dominion Park Playground. We immediately called 111 & help plus a fire engine was there very quickly. 2 boys were seen running away from the scene & another child volunteered their names, which have been passed on to the Fire Brigade. Perhaps these 2 boys will be exhibiting signs of guilt or bravado. Whether there will be any follow-up I'm not sure, but they were said to be local. Perhaps all parents should talk with their children about the dangers & stupidity of fire & similar vandalism

Have you heard about this Hamilton petition?
A group of Hamilton business owners have started a petition to stop the council from hiking up rates and passing the cost of what they say are unpopular projects on to residents.
It frustrates longtime residents Tom Andrews, a former roading engineer who owns Classics Museum and has property interests and Jo Reeder, to see Hamiltonians facing large bills.
