HCC

Alan from Melville

Last week I received a letter in the post from the H.C.C. Rates Department stating that Your Direct Debit For Rates.
The Council has now set rates for the new year and your direct debit payment will be > Payment frequency fortnightly. Payment amount $ 103.51. Date of Payment change 2 September 2021> Last payment date 18 August 2022. For more information about the rates please visit our website hamilton.govt.nz/rates or Phone 07 838 6688
The new amount of $ 103.51 cents is an increase of $ 14.91 per fortnight since 28th May 2020 I ask any one how can our HCC have the nerve to spend Hamilton rate payers money doing the art work on part of Rostrevor Street when the HCC need to do urgent maintenance to our roads and foot paths NOW not when the Cows come home over the past 65 years I have seen Hamilton City or Fountain City grow in to a most lovely place to live.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
