Water quality.. Tamatea
How many people are willing to cancel and refuse to pay their proportion of the rates to do with water. My charge is $200 per annum. I am wanting to start the ball rolling and if we all do it, I am sure we will get action. I have finally had a gutsful. This morning my water is actually black, have done everything the council has asked of me. I have all my emails and paperwork over the past two and a half years, I have all the councils replies and pathetic responses, the excuses, you name it, I have it.
I am ready to go into battle with all and whoever I come across .
This is utter B&**SH@T from the Napier city council, and they have the gall to tell me my rates are rising this year by 6.4% this year, just after last year they rose from $1706 to $2050.
Join in and refuse to pay your water contribution on your rates bill everyone.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
