Door To Door Salespeople Ignore Prohibition
Twice in the last week my wife and I have had to deal with errant door to door salespeople disturbing us right before mealtime. Both young males of Asian ethnicity they have rocked up at our doors inspite of a large sign out front indicating our choice to exclude such persons from our property. Yesterday's offender was particularly annoying as I had been working all day, was tired and relaxing in my lazyboy with a cup of tea when he began shouting for attention whilst standing outside our backdoor. Sorry Trustpower (in this instance) but your team are failing to show good manners and cultural sensitivity, instead exhibiting either an ignorance of or a willful flouting of the law. Of course we forgive them but just wish they were better trained to respect our desire not to be disturbed by people selling things we don't want.
Do you think the city needs more affordable housing projects?
An affordable rental development has been left scrambling to secure funding after it was unexpectly turned down by central government.
Bridge Housing Trust plans to build a 42 apartment complex on the corner of Tristram and Liverpool Streets in Hamilton central over two buildings. The land is being donated by Perry Group, which currently owns both sites.
You can help grow the Waikato Community Rugby Fund
Waikato Rugby celebrated 100 years of service to the community in 2021, but due to the pandemic the long-planned celebrations were not held until late 2022.
A highlight was a black-tie event at GloBox Arena at Claudelands where over 300 people enjoyed a wonderful night of reminiscence, remembrance, reconnection and reflection on what our national game means to the Waikato.
Many people put a lot of work into making the evening a massive success by all sorts of measures. One was fundraising $21,000 for the good of the game through auctions and donations, which has recently been transferred to the Waikato Community Rugby Fund at Momentum Waikato.
The Fund grows in perpetuity, with distributed returns only used for the benefit of the amateur community rugby, forever.
Donations to the Waikato Community Rugby Fund are always most welcome, to find out more and donate click the button below.
