Consultation will end on 19 September.
We have shown that public transport can work in a small town like Thames. Maybe you would like to see a similar bus service in your town – Whitianga? Whangamata? or maybe you would like to see the Thames service extended – up the Thames coast or out to Kopu? Perhaps you would like a service from Ngatea to Thames or around the Coromandel Peninsula?
Now is your chance to have your say. Make sure this plan is not just about public transport within Hamilton city. Tell Regional Council that you want public transport in and around small towns as well.
Here is a summary of the Plan -

Out-of-towners would pay to park at council-owned car parks at a daily rate of $15 or $4 per hour. That would force families to lug their boogie … View moreThe Thames-Coromandel District Council is proposing to ban visitor parking on residential streets of Hahei through a Parking Control Bylaw amendment.
Out-of-towners would pay to park at council-owned car parks at a daily rate of $15 or $4 per hour. That would force families to lug their boogie boards and chilly bins a kilometre to the beach. Read more

What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.

Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.
Torrential rain and a flooded bridge keep them stranded for three days. What they get up to, to help pass the time, raises a few eyebrows and will have you laughing, tearing up and applauding enthusiastically as they bare all.
Of course, it’s not just souls that are exposed, there’s a little nudity, a cracking thunderstorm, explosions, screaming bloody murder, ghostly stories, a birthday celebration, a séance, a drunken party, confessions, meltdowns and revelations that will keep you and your friends entertained throughout.
Perfectly timed for your own social group’s ascent into summer, don’t miss this hilarious play when it comes to a town near you in November.
Christmas came a little early for primary students from the Thames cluster of schools, who raced through Courtneys' Christmas Tree Farm in their annual cross country event on August 28, hosted by Puriri School.
