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.

Poll: Do you think a partial demolition is the right call?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

One of the most recognisable buildings at Waikato Diocesan School for Girls could be demolished, except for part of the façade.

The school is asking for resource consent to knock down most of the earthquake-prone Cherrington House as part of plans to build a larger, safer administration block.
