Rates rise on the cards
Tauranga will be facing some hefty rate increases over the next ten years adding hundreds to the yearly bill.
Figures show a 13.6 per cent rate increase in 2018/19, 7 per cent in 19/20 and a 10.7 per cent increase in 20/21.
A household paying $2500 in rates per year will see that figure rise to $3555 ($68 per week) in three year's time and $4448 ($85 per week) in ten year's time.
Do you think the rate rises are too high, or does Tauranga need to splash some cash to future proof the city?

Shame on You!
This is what greeted workers at Brookfield Sallies yesterday morning. All of it looks like it should have gone straight to the tip, which is what the Sallies will now have to pay to do. Surely whoever does this has no conscience. The Sallies do an amazing job of helping people in times of need and they don't need to be spending any money they receive on doing your dirty work, especially at this time of year.
