These are Matakanohi Reserve, Grantham St car park, Pine Beach and Fairfield Esplanade.

The council says path users should not enter these parks, particularly if the gates are closed.

Help !!! One last attempt.......

Dean from Dinsdale

I know I've asked for help before on this matter but I've still had no luck in getting hold of a pre loved 8mm video camera,(a common household item back in the 1990's)

Last time I posted this, all the cameras I was offered no longer worked. I need to either buy or hire one so I can… View more
I know I've asked for help before on this matter but I've still had no luck in getting hold of a pre loved 8mm video camera,(a common household item back in the 1990's)

Last time I posted this, all the cameras I was offered no longer worked. I need to either buy or hire one so I can transfer my old tapes onto a digital device.

Please let me know if u have one that still works. I'll gladly pay for it

Safety counts – assessing safety features when buying a car

Enterprise Motor Group Hamilton

If you’re in the process of buying a car you’re probably busy considering all the features and fittings that you’d like to invest in. Are you keen on a bigger engine or fatter tyres? Or perhaps you’re prioritising interior space so you can fit in the kids, the dog, and the weekly shop.

If you’re in the process of buying a car you’re probably busy considering all the features and fittings that you’d like to invest in. Are you keen on a bigger engine or fatter tyres? Or perhaps you’re prioritising interior space so you can fit in the kids, the dog, and the weekly shop.


Everyone approaches car buying with their own unique set of priorities. If you haven’t already, it’s worth adding safety to your list. Choosing the safest car you can afford is an investment in your own personal wellbeing and that of your passengers. And because it’s a key part of how insurance companies calculate their rates, it could also save you money.

Reply to Earthquake

Just saying that by now we would have heard it all over the news.

I have to say this is the first real earthquake that I've felt in Hamilton in 45 years other than the sudden jolt or rumble of tea cups. I feel quite unequipped to deal with an earthquake in terms of where to go (Civil Defence) how to help and what to take with me. So I'm going to make it my business to find out and become more equipped for a disaster. Starting with my Community centre.

Kia Ora whanau,

Over the last couple of weeks I've had tamariki (kids) from all ages walking past my whare (house) teasing my dogs from the other side of the fence and throwing rubbish on my lawn.

This afternoon, I had a group of intermediate or college children throw something at my house. I went outside and saw it was just a plastic water bottle, however when they walked away to the end of the street they all turned around and cheekily waved at me so I ran after them to return the bottle and have a korero. I asked one of them to make sure that they don't throw things at my house again. These are the same tamariki that threw a tree stump at a bus yesterday.

Whanau, please remind kids to respect other people's property when they are out and about. We can look after your tamariki if we see them on our streets as long as they respect us too.

Thank You :-)
