More info and resources re: proposed industrial incinerator project

Jennifer from Tamahere

For anyone who might like to keep up to speed on all of the info, submission-writing, public meetings (yes, some are on ZOOM), etc. around the proposed industrial incinerator project in Te Awamutu - please join the Don't Burn Waipa FB group. I'll link it in this post. There are heaps of resources there, links to events, flyers you can use, etc. This is a very active/engaged group of people who are fighting this project that would be a disaster for our regional environment AND would set a precedent for building MORE of these types of facilities in NZ. www.facebook.com...

Vandalism is costing ratepayers - what can be done to better protect our public spaces?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Vandals have repeatedly damaged public amenities across the Waikato District, leaving ratepayers to pick up the bill. So far in 2025, the cost has climbed to nearly $123,000, reports the Waikato Times.

The council is urging residents to report vandalism as soon as possible.
If you witness vandalism in progress, please contact the police immediately.

We want to know: Do you have ideas on how we can better protect our public spaces?
