Jutting footpath claims kneecap

Matt Bowen Reporter from Waikato Times

Hi everyone,

Dawn King, 81, was walking her son's black labrador, Max, around the block in Rototuna when she tripped and fell over a lip of concrete on Cate Rd.

She broke her kneecap and is now stranded for four weeks.

After contacting Hamilton City Council about the incident, staff visited the site and it's due to be fixed within a week.

Do you have a dodgy footpath that needs fixing? If so, please get in touch on 849-9666 or email news@waikatotimes.co.nz or comment below.

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Every year, tiny hands take it upon themselves to add Anzac flavour to the city centre.

Preschoolers from Rainbow Kids Childcare are keeping the tradition of Anzac Day alive by planting bright red poppies on Victoria Street.

Have you heard about this Hamilton petition?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

A group of Hamilton business owners have started a petition to stop the council from hiking up rates and passing the cost of what they say are unpopular projects on to residents.

It frustrates longtime residents Tom Andrews, a former roading engineer who owns Classics Museum and has property interests and Jo Reeder, to see Hamiltonians facing large bills.
