Average rates rise 5.25 per cent

Jared Nicoll Reporter from Kapi-Mana News

Council will decide in June if it will go ahead with the next annual rates rise, this time it is proposed the average bill will grow 5.25% each year for the next four years.
What do you think? Someone has to pay for infrastructure, balance the books etc, right? Or are there areas that could be cut back?
Maybe you're still getting over the shock of last year's bills after all those property values jumped!

Stamps wanted

Marty from Johnsonville

I run a Stamp club at Tawa School to encourage children to collect stamps and learn about countries, history and more. Unfortunately new stamps aren't often seen these days as it's all electronic! If you have any stamps or old collections sitting around, let me know and I'll come and get them.
