TRC RATES INCREASE YARROWS STADIUM $55M 2019/20 FOR 25 YEARS! PUBLIC MTG THURS.20/6/19 1.30PM NPDC CHAMBERS

Heather from Westown

EXTRA-ORDINARY PUBLIC MEETING BEING HELD AT NPDC CHAMBERS TO GIVE THE PUBLIC THE CHANCE TO HIGHLIGHT OUR CONCERNS RE: TRC'S INTENTION TO RAISE EXTRA RATES TO DEMOLISH THE YARROW STADIUM AND BUILD A NEW ONE AT A COST OF $55M MINIMUM, ADDING AT LEAST $76 PER YEAR TO RESIDENTAIL RATES FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT 25 YEARS! AND POSSIBLY $400+ FOR SMALL BUSINESSES OVER THE SAME PERIOD!
THIS IS OUR ONLY CHANCE TO MAKE OUR CONCERNS KNOWN TO OUR COUNCILLORS! THE REGIONAL COUNCILLORS DON'T CARE HOW WE FEEL, ESP. IF WE ARE FINDING LIFE DIFFICULT FINANCIALLY! THEY HAVE SHOWN THIS - I SPOKE TO THE CHAIRPERSON LAST WEEK AND THEY HAVE MADE THEIR DECISSION THEY SAY...  WHAT ABOUT US, THOSE ON A LOW FIXED INCOME? WE CANNOT AFFORD IT.
I WILL BE THERE, SPEAKING FOR 5 MINS. REGARDS, HEATHER LEWIS.

Recommendations please - Heatpump Repair

Suthan from Bell Block

Hi,

Looking for someone reasonable to provide a quote to fix a Panasonic heat pump that a) leaks a little when on cool mode and b) doesn’t heat.

Appreciate all your recommendations

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
