council rates increase fund raising to pay for the extra cost in our rates.
Hi, as a superannuation person who will struggle to fill any of the bins we will be provided with, and i will also not find it easy to pay the extra cost, i suggest those who are interested to join me in sitting on a deck chair with a sign that reads "Help me pay my rates please, any donation will be gratefully accepted". We could sit outside various places and see what we can get. We can then share it amongst those of us who will need it. If anyone is interested, can you pm me please.
