Staff felt that the public consultation was robust enough to have afforded sufficient consultation. The Hamilton community clearly indicated that they felt ignored and thus brought a petition to Council to have a new assessment of the proposals.
Councillor Wilson was concerned that he could not see evidence of projected parking requirements and thus questioned the validity of the assumptions made regarding the need for the extra parking.
I have always had the concern that two things are amiss in deciding projects of such import as this one about the Hamilton Gardens. The poor efforts in the consultation phase and two the scanty evidence brought to Council for approval.
We will now hopefully see an aggressive briefing and consultation process with the folks of Hamilton and grater clarity of the reasons and motivations for the proposals regarding the future of our Hamilton Gardens.

A recall was issued, but there are still a few thousand cars NZ-wide that have not been repaired due to peoples' contact details being outdated.
Six brands are affected by the recall: Honda, BMW, Isuzu, Mazda, Nissan and Toyota (including Lexus). Concerned owners can check whether or not their vehicle is involved in the compulsory recall here.

We’re not sure who decided that Black Friday was suddenly a ‘thing’ down in our part of the world, so, as us Kiwis tend to do, we thought we’d put our own spin on it instead. One that is much more focused on community over consumerism, and equally about giving as it is about getting.
Curious?
Kicking off today and running through 'til Monday 2 December, we are doing our annual buy-one-give-one campaign.
That means for every Christmas Gift Box or Christmas Cracker set purchased, we’ll also give one to City Missions and food banks across the country to support families in need. Our aim is to give back to an organisation within the community that each of our customers live in.
The best part? There’s no car park congestion, over-crowded shopping malls or #walmartfights involved. You can shop online from the comfort of your own home, with the knowledge that you’re also doing good for fellow Kiwis in their own community.
You could say that our version of Black Friday is in fact a whole lot more colourful, adding brightness to what might otherwise be a fairly bleak Christmas for many families in New Zealand.
Together, we can make Christmas a bright and tasty time for families in need - and that sounds like a pretty good deal, don’t you think?!
Whether you’re buying for an avid foodie, a wannabe masterchef, a time-poor parent, or a student who needs help to step their signature spag bol up a notch, our Christmas Gift sets are guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser, are all gluten-free, with no MSG, and all-natural!
You’ll find more information about Raptor Naturals, our Christmas Gift Boxes and our Christmas Crackers on our website - www.raptornaturals.co.nz
Thanks for your support

Every year I try and raise money in November and December to send to a charity. This year I have chosen Kids Can.
Would anyone on here be interested in a fundraising raffle?
All proceeds will go to kids can. I have already been selling all my extra household items on $1 reserve pages to help raise funds, and have raised over $150 for the cause. Each dollar I raise, I am matching to donate to kids can. They do wonderful work, and I am so proud to be able to assist
