Poll: Do you think a new centre for homeless people would help?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A Hamilton City councillor is throwing her weight behind a homeless centre in the CBD, which would see funds destined for a Garden Place playground redirected for the project.

Anna Casey-Cox says the centre would be a “more supportive” option to try and sort out anti-social behaviour in the CBD than the “enforcement” approach.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
