Rates Increase
Hi All, is anyone else of the opinion (as I am) that we should be getting a rates REBATE rather than a preposterous 16% increase? I say this, as when I drive around the Hutt Valley, on sections where there were once one or two homes - 1 or 2 lots of rates - there can now be a huge number of homes. Many, many multi property sections now, new subdivisions as well, all presumably paying rates. I would love to hear from someone who knows the net gain in actual properties over the last two to three years. It must be hundreds and hundreds.

traffic chaos
I note no comments about utter traffic chaos alicetown melling area due to not being able to turn from victoria st on to ewan bridge. You would think council would require 24 by 7 work on such a vital road into lower hutt. what about all the extra pollution due to cars crawling along at 10kmph. I guess council doesnt believe in climate change
