Shout out to a local business!
I'd love to give a shout out to PC + Laptop Repairs (CHCH) Limited for their super quick and efficient service I received this week when my laptop mousepad died! I dropped my laptop off and within an hour had a diagnosis and quote for replacement part/service. Within 24 hours it was ready to be picked up again! Barely any work time lost at all!
They have a no fix/no fee promise, and along with their great reviews on google business, that made my decision to trust them easy.
(hint - if you're a business owner and don't have a Google Biz page, get onto it now! People want to support and shop local more than ever and they can find you easier if you have a google bix page!)
Poll: What could the Christchurch City Council fund if it didn't have to pay GST on rates?
Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger says GST on rates, currently taken by central government, would be better spent locally.
The comments follow an Infometrics analysis that found over $1.1 billion of rates revenue nationwide was collected by the Government in 2022 as GST.
According to Infometrics, $88.5m of that came from Christchurch city ratepayers. It would be enough to save the Christ Church Cathedral from ruin; restore the Dux de Lux seven times over; cover both the Art Centre and Orana Wildlife Park’s request for regular public funding for over 26 years; contribute to light rail in Greater Christchurch; or get the South Library rebuild completed.
