My Nice Neighbour nomination

Jenny from Beerescourt

Mark & Rebecca are my 2x unsung neighbourly heroes. Thursday 1st April (Fools Day), an inspection was carried out at my address and upon completion the inspectors had locked the deadlock and unwittingly locked me out.
After 2x other unnerving incidences earlier that day, I did not need to come home to this. It was raining, lightning, thunder, dark and well into the evening. With steadfast patience and to my great relief, Mark & Rebecca were able to work some magic to finally allow me entry into my unit. I feel a mere thankyou and a small cash offering from myself would pale in significance. I invite your consideration.

Have you heard about this Hamilton petition?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

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.
