Hamilton East’s Steele Park is top of the list of sites for a giant underground wastewater storage tank that could help get building in the city underway again.

Swathes of Hamilton have been ruled off limits to development due to a lack of wastewater capacity. One solution is bulk storage that spreads the load, but comes with the added conundrum of where to put the giant underground poo tanks.

What do you think about this poo storage tank proposal? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Life in Addictive Eaters Anonymous provides me with the freedom to have great adventures

Before I came into the fellowship of Addictive Eaters Anonymous, I lived full of fear, resentment, self-pity, shame, and self-obsession. My eating was completely out of control and I could no longer stop eating even though I really wanted to and went to great lengths to try and stop. My world became a small and lonely existence where the only thing I looked forward to was hiding out with my food. There was no room for adventure in my life.

EarthDiverse is pleased to announce it's latest course: HIS221: "A History of the Apocalypse" with Peter Dornauf, starting this Wednesday 29 October 11:00am-1:00pm and lasting for 3 consecutive Wednesdays.

We live in dramatic times globally. Future prospects for our planet are dire. Repent: The End of the World is near! This course asks why such scenarios have such a profound hold on the human psyche? The answer: history needs endings to make satisfying tales with a nice dramatic arc. Apocalypse is the ultimate story. History with no ending is just a meaningless sequence of events. This series of talks traces the history of the end of the world from biblical times down
to our own ecological disaster fears today.

Course location in Hillcrest, Hamilton. For more information and registration please click on the Read More link below.

Waikato Police are already noticing significant congestion on roads across the district as people head away for the long weekend, prompting a reminder to people to be extra patient.

β€œWe’re already seeing southbound traffic building up south of Cambridge as people get away for the long weekend," says Senior Sergeant Andrew O'Reilly.

"Traffic though Waitakaruru and up to the Kopu bridge is also likely to become heavily congested.

"If you’re considering travelling this afternoon, please consider that roads are already very busy, and travel times will be longer.”
