PRESS RELEASE by our Association as follows:-
"Hamilton Residents & Ratepayers Association Incorporated
As a body the Hamilton Residents & Ratepayers Association Inc. (HRRA) objects to all six options proposed for rate rises that address the 10-Year Plan Review. HRRA instead hereby lodge a directive to Hamilton City Council to return to the ‘drawing board’ and try again. The commitment to the previously agreed 2015 plan of 3.8% should be honoured, being more consistent with New Zealand’s projected rate of inflation. In addition, the Council should become more disciplined and learn to live within its means rather than expecting to call upon the ratepayers to finance its excesses which includes the $22 million in interest on present council debt.
HRRA see the present Six Options offered from 9.5% to 16.5% unjustifiable and for this reason alone we have chosen to boycott the 2018 Consultation process."

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
