As we head in to winter, check out these 5 top tips for cutting down your power bill:
1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.

1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.
2. Change your cooking habits: Eat fresh veges instead of cooking. Using the oven for an hour a night can add $20 to your monthly power bill.
3. Use curtains to trap heat in: Let the sun heat your home during the day then close your curtains to stop the warmth escaping in the evening.
4. If you’re away, turn the hot water cylinder off: You can save up to $36 on your power bill if you switch your hot water cylinder off while away on weekends.
5. Make the most out of your FREE Hour of Power: Utilise power deals like Electric Kiwi’s free Hour of Power, which gives you one off peak hour of free power a day. Use this hour to heat your home, turn on the dishwasher, or run the washing machine and dryer.

Today is the last day for submissions for the “Free” Parking proposal in Central City.
Do you support subsidising businesses in the CBD?
The touted $26 is not a flat rate; it is an addition (increase) to Access Hamilton which is calculated by capital value multiplied by 0.000251. Higher the CV the more you pay.
The “Free” parking proposal is in direct contrast/conflict with the District Plan, the 10 Year Plan and the Central City Transformation Plan. It completely undermines the spirit of these plans.
It is also diametrically opposed to both to the Parking Management Plan and the Active Travel Action Plan with their focus on cycling walking and busing, and is even contradicts the 2017/18 Annual Plan (its own source document).
Council has promised (and documented) rates certainty by 3.8% annual increase for 10 years, this fly’s in the face of that promise. Council’s credibility is at stake and ratepayers will lose trust and are undermining their own credibility, ratepayers no longer believe statements from Council.

Submissions close this Sunday 7th May 2017 for the “Free” Parking proposal in Central City.
Do you support subsidizing businesses in the CBD?
The touted $26 is not a flat rate; it is an addition (increase) to Access Hamilton which is calculated on the capital value (CV) of the property. Higher the value the more you pay.
Choice and consequence: those who choose to shop in the central city, the consequences are the availability and cost to park. That is the individual’s choice.
There is no such choice for those who choose (or unable or do not have a car) not to shop in the CBD and the consequence is you still pay (effectively to subsidise businesses in the CBD).
“Free” Parking failed to revitalise or bring people into the CBD in Lower Hutt, Porirua, New Plymouth or Rotorua.
A mobile app is proposed to notify motorists of available parking spaces.

There is much confusion over the $26 for “Free Parking” the $26 is an average for residential ratepayers across the whole of Hamilton. It will not be a flat rate of $26.
The cost of the “Free Parking” will be an addition (increase) to Access Hamilton part of the Rates demand. The confusion arises with the $26 for the average property, which is calculated on the capital value of the property. The current calculation factor is 0.00019173. That calculation factor will change to establish the $26 average across the whole of Hamilton; it will be different for each property.
To use the $26 as an example, current Access Hamilton rate is $92.99 - the proposed (average) residential targeted rate for free parking of $26.00. That is a 21.85% increase to $118.99. ($23.99 more than the average $95)- And it will be even more, calculated on capital value. Just the $26 the property’s next year’s overall rate rise will be 5.56% but it will be more. What prevents Council in future from increasing the rate factor (i.e. the current 0.00019173), the ratepayer wouldn’t know and Council would gain more revenue. (to waste)
The ‘rich pricks’ in the Northern suburbs will pay more as their capital value is high.
The whole issue of “Free Parking” strikes at the heart of democracy. Democracy equals freedom. Freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants. ‘We do have some freedom of choice’
With choice there are consequences. Choice is at the heart of those who choose to shop in the central city, the consequences are the availability and cost to park. That is the individual’s choice.
Where is the choice for those who choose (or unable or do not have a car) not to shop in the CBD
"There's been talk about free parking for years. Let's give it a go and see if it works,” - Geoff Taylor.
What if it doesn’t work will Council (or Taylor) refund our money?
It hasn’t worked in Lower Hutt, Porirua, New Plymouth or Rotorua.
Council is also to replace parking meters and pay and display machines with new parking technology between 2015 and 2017 and introduce sensors in parking bays, giving motorists’ information on the availability of parks in the central city. A mobile app to notify motorists of available parking spaces.
