Re: Air B n B

Wayne from Otumoetai

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?

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.
