What support do you think Melville's new school needs?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

Teething issues at a newly amalgamated Hamilton school are a product of a speedy transition with a lack of resourcing but it’s not a lost cause, local leaders say.

In the wake of a potential 25.5% rates shock, Hamilton city councillors have settled on their final pitch to the public: 19.9%.

On average, Hamiltonians would have to pay about $10.90 more towards rates every week. But the rate rises would keep coming, with the city projecting rises of 15.5% for the four years following.

Councillors were not happy about the “unfortunate” decision they had to make to keep the city running during Tuesday evening’s debate on the 2024-34 Long Term Plan, and some say the final number may change after public consultation in March-April.
