Anyone interested in helping set up a community pantry? I am located in portal crescent and was thinking of setting one up close to the school back exit on alanbrook. Unsure yet where abouts would be best for everyone to easily access.

Do you think primary teachers and principals should be striking? Thousands of teachers have taken industrial action on Wednesday, with dozens of rallies planned around the country. They aim to gain attention for better pay, conditions and incentives to attract new teachers. Although about 30,000 people in the profession are involved in the strike, not everyone agrees with it.
So, what are your thoughts on the strike? Do you think teachers deserve better pay? Or should they have stayed around the negotiating table for longer? Are you a teacher or parent with views on the topic? Let us know in the replies!

Hamilton City Council will roll out its new wheeled bin and more recycling options service from July 2020, which includes replacing the current black bag collection with separate wheeled bins for rubbish and recycling, a smaller separate food waste collection bin and using the existing recycling crates for glass only.
Waste Minimisation Advisor Charlotte Catmur says the current recycling service, which was established in 2002, is no longer ‘fit for purpose’ so the new service will be a major step forward for the city aligning it with other leading Councils in New Zealand. As part of the new service there will be assisted collections to help physically impaired or elderly residents and special services for intensive housing areas that cannot be serviced effectively through this kerbside collection service.
The new service is designed to increase Hamilton’s recycling rate from 29 per cent (by weight) to 50 per cent, which would mean diverting more than 100,000 tonnes of waste from landfill in the 10 years from 2020/21.

I note that Hamilton has only two of these stands. Tamahere and Whatawhata. I am enthusiastic about this project and about helping out others with my surplus. Anybody else keen?
