Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Neighbours of a cluster of empty and deteriorating state houses in Thames say the landlord should make up its mind whether to either sell off or fix up the homes to spare the community the eyesore.

The future of the five Kāinga Ora properties - one of which has been empty for more than a year - remains uncertain after the state housing provider said it is “exploring options” for the properties.

Walking path & not one facility I could find to give a dog a drink of water.

Shezz from Ngaruawahia

Council. I would like to suggest that a dog drinking post or two be erected, with a metal bowl below and a self stopping tap to top it up, to give fresh water to thirsty dogs who accompany their owners on this pathway. Perhaps a water fountain at the top for the owner as well. Thank you.
