Ngā mihi o te ata kiritata,

Palmerston North City Council may drop its 4.4 per cent rates increase to 1.95 per cent following the hardships of a Covid-19 recession.

Nearly half the public submissions on the draft budget asked council to freeze rates or reduce the increase.

But Councillor Susan Baty said it would not be possible to freeze rates and still build a progressive city.

Hey neighbours, how do you feel about this divisive household dilemma?

Is taking your shoes off in someone's home the right and hygienic thing to do, or do you see being asked to remove your shoes as a total imposition?

Jono Galuszka Reporter from Manawatū Standard

Mōrena neighbours,

Horizons Regional Council is asking people to get in touch about its annual plan, which as it stands has rates going up by 1 per cent.

Some councillors say rates need to stay flat, while others say what is not paid for now needs paying for later.

Mōrena neighbours,

Some councillors say rates need to stay flat, while others say what is not paid for now needs paying for later.
