Proposed change to rubbish collection

Elly from Welcome Bay

I received an enquiry last night from a friend who had been talking to an elderly woman who is renting a property. She was unsure as to who would be paying for the new bins. As Council are putting these costs on our rates I assume the landlord is responsible. On saying this, does this mean that rents will now rise in an already over priced rental market? Given that we received a $340 rates rebate in 2019 and a miserable $50 in 2020 this Council is indeed making the people of Tauranga pay for their fiscal mistakes!! We have it on good authority that this decision re the rebates was the Council's decision!!! Trust the new Commission taking over the Council will indeed look into every detail!

Shame on You!

Lisa from Otumoetai

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.
