What do you think of the Waipā district financial situation?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

That was Susan O’Regan’s take in the wake of a workshop which put finances under the microscope. Elected members were asked to give direction on the financial strategy for the council’s nine-year Long Term Plan, due to be adopted in June.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

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?
