Interesting Observation
I recently got my quarterly rates demand. I then dug out from my files my last rates demand and I find mine in Hamilton has got up 17.4% and not by the 15.5% alluded to by council newsletters . Have you also checked yours ? I wonder what existing councillors seeking re-election have now got to say.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
