Poll: Sinking street hits new low
The top end of Albatross Close in Whitby is sinking. It's gone from about 30 centimeters in July to about 1 meter now. There is a temporary access road, but residents are frustrated with the hold-ups and the time it's taking to get the job started on fixing it.
Do you think neighbours, particularly those worse affected with the slip right at the end of their driveways, should get some kind of rates rebate?
*Please put NFP with your comment if you'd rather it wasn't used in a potential news article*
-
83.7% Yeah, give the worst-affected a rates rebate
-
16.3% Nah, it wouldn't be worth the effort for a small amount anyway

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
