What do you make of Hamilton's 4-star hotel news?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The developers behind parts of Auckland's Viaduct have spotted Hamilton's potential and they're putting their money where their mouth is with a $120 million hotel, retail and residential development downtown.

The resulting 10 storey-plus high end hotel development is set to supercharge Hamilton’s CBD and link hotspots including the new Waikato Regional Theatre and Victoria on the River.

Poll: Should you ask before planting tall shrubs/trees near your property line?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It may be fine now but in a few years trees can block out light or views for neighbours.

Do you think neighbours should ask before they go ahead and plant these?

Poll: Do you think fining illegal dumpers will help reduce rubbish?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A crackdown on Hamilton rubbish dumpers may be paying off after the city council more than quadrupled the number of infringement notices it issues annually.

The council trialled notices with a “don’t be a tosser” message a couple of years ago, in an attempt to prick people’s consciences, but they weren’t successful, so it has gone the other way and started taking a tougher line.

Do you think this will help stop illegal dumpers? Let us know your reason in the comments. (Please add NFP if you don't want your comments used in print.)
