Re: Air B n B
I have heard through the "grapevine" that our council are now considering placing a tax on anyone who does Air B n B in the Tauranga Council area like Auckland does We do Air B n B on a casual basis as we love having such diverse cultures coming to stay and we learn a lot from them but if the council do this we will have to stop as the extra charge we would have to add to our nightly fee would not be viable.
I have spoken to some of our guests and they have said if it was more expensive, they would simply go to Rotorua and leave out this area which would take a good deal of money from our local economy. does anyone else have a view either for or against?
Unelected commissioners recommend they stay in power
Interesting responses to my post. Two in particular piqued my interest. Suzanne Williams and her comments about whinging about everything-Suzanne it is not about whinging. It is more about raising concerns about an undemocratic regime forced on us and then seeing the commissioners wanting to keep their sinecure. Greg Reardon "I vote to keep the commissioners"-Greg the point is that you do not have a vote. Look I get it-democracy is imperfect. Some of our previously elected councillors were rubbish-ego driven and feeding from the trough (not unlike our commissioners). But it is what we have got. It is better to have an imperfect democracy than an unelected and unaccountable cartel of commissioners who say "we know what is good for you".
Good Warm Home Loan ANZBank
Just advising that anyone who is renovating should apply first this loan - even if they don’t need it. With the escalating costs AND hidden problems that you may come across you can go well over your budget and find this 1% interest loan useful. It is for 3 years and specifically targets items like double glazing
You don’t see this Ioan on the front page of there website and have to read carefully terms ad conditions.
If anyone has had success in getting their loan halfway through their renovation I would love to hear from you
Lest we forget...
