Infrastructure work, higher rubbish costs bring rates rise for Hurunui residents
The average rates bill in North Canterbury's Hurunui district will rise by about 6 per cent as the local council continues work to strengthen public buildings, improve water supplies and repair damaged infrastructure.
The Hurunui District Council adopted its 2019-20 annual plan on Thursday, which included a 6 per cent increase to the general rate and an expected debt balance of $39 million by mid-2020.
A council statement said it was a deliberate strategy to "manage affordability and debt while continuing to deliver critical services".

very kind Lady behind me in the queue reached out and paid for my purchase.
The world still has some wonderful people in it even in these troubled times.
