Are you happy in Hamilton?
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.

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.

What's your favourite piece of Waikato history?
Car parks inspired a milking shed design that took off around the world and became a piece of Waikato District history.
A hundred-year-old church and gravestones from the 1880s will also feature as the district turns the spotlight on its past for its first Heritage Day on April 20.
