Transport targeted rate gets slim support; local board moves to next stage
Rodney gave just enough support for the transport targeted rate to go ahead – with 53 per cent of submitters lining up behind the proposal.
The Rodney Local Board's transport targeted rate will move to the next stage of investigation.
The rate would cost ratepayers between $114-200 per annum and replace the council's transport levy – which would expire in June 2018.
What do you think? Do you agree with paying a targeted rate?
