Are you happy in Hamilton?

Reporter Hamilton Press

Hi neighbours! Results from the latest Nielsen Quality of Life survey have shown that 84 per cent of Hamilton residents say they have a good quality of life, up from 82 per cent two years ago. While positive responses cite increased development, new buildings, and renovations, some people are concerned about a perceived increase in crime, traffic congestion and the high cost of living.
We are looking for constructive opinions on what Hamilton is doing well, as well as what Hamilton could improve on.
Feel free to flick me an email at kelley.tantau@stuff.co.nz or comment below! But PLEASE WRITE NFP IF YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR COMMENTS PUBLISHED.

Have you seen a fire engine go over a raised platform?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Traffic calming measures are delaying response times for fire crews and putting lives at risk, a group of frontline Hamilton firefighters say.

Last month Hamilton City Council slammed the brakes on a number of not-yet contracted roading projects that would have installed more raised platforms and in-lane bus stops across the city after a “tsunami” of push-back from the public.

What do you think of this new cycleway?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

People are being warned not to park on a newly built cycleway in west Hamilton if they don’t want to be fined.

Construction is underway on a revamped protected cycleway on Rifle Range Road to help link Dinsdale, Frankton to Maeroa and Forest Lake.
