Poll: How are the traffic islands near you?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Work starts this month on a $300,000 “spruce up” to pour concrete over of 17 “difficult to maintain” traffic island sites with lawns or gardens around Hamilton.

The project is said to be primarily aimed at better safety for staff and the public - but the move will also generate annual savings, the city council said.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
