Upper Hutt Rates Increases.
Please excuse if I am posting this where is shouldn't be. Admins, do remove this if its not appropriate.
I have not done anything like this before so please excuse if my wording isn't quite right.
As most of us are aware the Upper Hutt City Council have proposed to raise their Rates by near on 20% each year over the next 3 years.
If your UHCC Rates are around $2500 per year, after the 3 years of increases they will be approximately $4300 which equals an extra $35ish per week. This will not only hit homeowners, rentals, hirage of venues etc but will be impacting the community as the costs will be passed on with such large increases over a short period of time.
As I am outraged about this, I have created a petition on change.org to hopefully be able to show the council how many are not for these massive increases in a short period of time.
If you would like to support this petition please go to the link and add your voice.

Thanks in advance.
