Poll: Do you think trespass notices work?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

They can land you three months in jail or a $1000 fine, more than 400,000 of them have been issued in the past decade but according to women’s safety advocates - they’re not worth the paper they’re written on.

In the wake of the Government’s proposed new anti-stalking laws, the Waikato Times spoke to advocates - and a stalking victim - who all share the same view on Trespass Notices.

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.

On Tuesday, the Waikato Times revealed Waikato Thoroughbred Racing’s (WTR) plans to buy 150ha of farmland south of Hamilton to house the region’s three racing clubs at a new purpose-built racecourse and event centre.
