Fundraiser - Junior World Track Champs

Helena from Cambridge

Recently local Cambridge resident Alex Schuler was selected to represent NZ at this year's UCI Junior Track World Championships which this year will be held in the Netherlands in August. This is the 2nd year that Alex has been selected to represent NZ, it is an amazing achievement, but once again as a junior rider, this is self-funded. Over the next few months, he will be running various fund-raising events and any support from his local and wider community would be greatly appreciated so that he can actually get there.

Currently Alex has a 'Give a Little Page' and if anyone is in a position to donate, even a little bit, it will go a long way!

Please also feel free to share the page and if anyone is interested in sponsoring Alex, personally or through your business, we would love to hear from you.

Thank you! 🤞

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.

Poll: Have you ever had a Healthy Homes inspection done where you live?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Conflicting Healthy Homes inspection reports are raising concerns about the consistency of standards meant to ensure rental properties are safe and liveable.

In one recent case, a Cambridge rental property underwent two inspections within a week, with significantly different outcomes. The first, arranged by tenant Sara Lewis, identified multiple issues including mould, vermin, and ventilation concerns. A second inspection, arranged by property managers Harcourts, just six days later, found little to criticise.
