Proposed WDC Rates Hike
Those who read the Waikato times today 3/3/18 would probably have read that the Waikato District Council is intending to bump up our rates. obviously there has been property value increases. The fact that they are going to increase our rubbish charges so soon after changing to the user pay system is bad enough but they are intending to increase our water charges needs to be publicly addressed. They are saying there will be a period of " public information" basically to tell us what they are going to do and they intend to form a Watercare Services, presumably a Council controlled public company. In the only water charge account to date they have stated they intend to lock water in to rates, what rates was not stated. The original information sheet said they were not allowed by law to make a profit and nothing about being slammed for GST It is my belief that this council for some time has been riding rough shod over the townies and what I am wondering is there a desire with the rate payers to form a united Action group? cheers Brin

Leaving Neighbourly
Hey everyone, just a quick note to say I’m leaving Neighbourly. I joined because I thought it would be a good way to connect with people in the community, especially the older generation, and to receive advice, help, and shared knowledge.
Over time I’ve made quite a few posts genuinely looking for help or guidance, and unfortunately I’ve rarely received any responses. Most of the time it’s just one or two likes and no actual comments or help, which gets pretty discouraging after a while.
I understand people are busy, but when you consistently put things out there and hear almost nothing back, it starts to feel like there’s no real point in being part of the platform. Because of that, I’ve decided it’s best for me to move on.
No hard feelings — just not the right fit for me. Wishing everyone all the best.
