Poll: Would you prefer costs for services and public facilities (like libraries and pools) to go up, or rates bills to go up?
Pursuing a 0 per cent rates increase will have an "enormous impact" on the Christchurch community, city councillors warn.
A planned $34 million swimming pool and library development in Hornby could be delayed, the cost of a swim could go up and so could library charges, community grants could get the chop, and the New Brighton hot salt water pools could remain closed — everything is being considered to save money, but nothing is likely to be decided without another round of community consultation.
So what do you think? Would you want to pay more for services and public facilities, or would you prefer to have a higher rates bill? Or do you think there's any other way the council should save money? Read more here and tell us what you think in the comments below.
