Proposed dog licence fees.
What has got into the brains (if any) of the Whangarei Council members. They have proposed and are enforcing a 50% increase in dog licence fees. This will result in more dumping of dogs and greater pressure on the animal welfare groups. This huge increase is truly ridiculous and another nail in the financial coffin of the retirees and pensioners. Our pets are in most instances our friends and companions and often our security. The banks, thanks to Covid19, have already destroyed any reasonable income that we had from our investments by slashing their interest rates and we have to continually try to stretch our dollars further just to survive. The price of food, fuel, parking and other necessities have all gone up but where can we oldies look for any form of relief? Definitely not our Council who are still determent to finish off the Hundertvasser monstrosity at any cost including putting gold foil in the roof. The sooner the local elections take place the quicker we can get rid of the current bunch of clowns.
