Poll: Do you think new funding and financing options will help with rates?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Senior Waikato mayors are welcoming a new national push by Local Government New Zealand to promote alternative funding and financing methods to ease rates pressure and develop key infrastructure.

LGNZ - which on Thursday was holding a national hui in Wellington - released a list of 25 funding and financing tools to help take direct pressure off ratepayers.

Do you think new funding and financing options will help with rates? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
