Walking on roads
This morning around 10.30am I noted a young girl,wearing head phones and carrying a dog, walking down the incline of Madill Rd. If a car had come over the brow it possibly would not have had time to see her and it could have been catastrophic. I called to her explained to her I was worried for her safety so thankfully she moved to the pavement. At this time as there is fewer cars travelling on our roads we still need to be alert and safety savy. I am so pleased nothing happened to that young girl. Please take care

Have you heard about this Hamilton petition?
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.
