Poll: Do you think Hamilton's CBD could take pointers from Cambridge?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Car parks back in Garden Place, a weekend market, and better funded night shelters - that’s what a former Hamilton mayor reckons will stop the city’s feral street scenes.

Russ Rimmington is calling for Hamilton city leaders to look to Cambridge and provide the economic drivers to turn the CBD around.

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.”
