Have you checked out our Hard Yakka series?
Hi neighbours,
Spending scandals, growing deficits, board sackings: staffers at Waikato DHB have worked through it all in recent years.
But people don't stop getting sick while there's turmoil at the top of the district health board.
Thousands of employees carried on helping patients and keeping health services ticking over. Hard Yakka introduces readers to some of those people.
Our first story in the series here.
We'll have a new one each day over the coming weeks.
So check out the Waikato Times and Stuff for them.
What's your favourite piece of Waikato history?
Car parks inspired a milking shed design that took off around the world and became a piece of Waikato District history.
A hundred-year-old church and gravestones from the 1880s will also feature as the district turns the spotlight on its past for its first Heritage Day on April 20.
Got some stuff in the back of your closet to sell off?
The biggest ‘self-serve flea supermarket’ in New Zealand is about to open in Hamilton.
