Fire 🔥 at dominion park
I just took my dogs for a walk and three young kids were busy setting fire to the big purple slide ,they put a rubbish bag under and inside of it and set it alight,it was going for a while,noe there is a big hole in it .smashed all the glass bottles all over the place ,they ran away when I said I was phoning police .i found a bottle and had to pump water to try and put it out ,I managed pretty much till a man I think from council came as saw me and was obviously wondering what I was doing ,and he put the last bit out for me.the three were wearing hoodies and had scooters ,if you are the parents ,give them a good hiding,take away all privileges .this has ruined this for other children now if we go to level two next week ,for them to play on .thoughless little thugs.hope the cctv camera was working .

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.

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.
