Poll: Are you happy owning your own home, or renting?

Paul Reporter from Stuff

Are we happier owning our own home or renting?

It turns out one answer does not fit all.

Some people feel more "grounded" owning their own home, giving them the feeling they're planning for the future and creating a legacy. But there are people who think the opposite. Read more

Did you know Councils voted for the Public Sales of Fireworks to be banned?

Paul from Morrinsville

These remits usually get workshopped by all councillors and voted on so that delegates know what the councillors majority vote is and vote accordingly. This year we were given the remits by email two days before the conference and had no time to consider these and discuss them or seek further information. Not a big deal it seems well read the remits which are as follows.....
1 Climate change – local government representation
2 Ban on the sale of fireworks to the general public

3 Traffic offences – red light running

4 Prohibit parking on grass berms

5 Short-term guest accommodation (air bnb bnbs)

6 Nitrate in drinking water7

Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act (1987)

8 Weed control

9 Building defects claims

10 Social housing

11 Procurement

12 Single use polystyrene

13 Local Government Act 2002

14 Campground regulations

15 Living wage

16 Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act

17 Greenhouse gases

18 Climate change – policy framework

19 Road safety

20 Mobility scooter safety

21 Museums and galleries

22 Resource Management Act

23 Mayor decision to appoint Deputy Mayor

24 Beauty industry



To see the decions reached by the delegates and read the entire remits follow this link www.lgnz.co.nz...

As you can see there were a large number of remits and to expect Councillors to investigate and consult in 48 hours is unacceptable. The reason for the late notification was given as a communication breakdown by staff. Whilst I have no reason to doubt this the Mayor attends this conference every year and is a member of the National Executive, one would think that it would have been obvious to have seen ths was not on the workshop or agendas for meetings in time. These decisions do not bind our council however they bind our National Body to achieve the remits that were passed. Another lack of transparency where councillors have been kept in the dark. Time for a change is obvious.

As I have at the top of the page this is my opinion and does not reflect any official position of Council,
