Manfeild Park Trust
We are going to be so lucky in 5 years time when the Manfeild trust is unable to repay it's loans of 2.2 million back to the Provincial Growth Fund all of us in the Manawatu District will again pay it for them just like in 2016 when our council wrote off the loans and interest it owed us. Manfeild Park Trust the gift that keeps increasing our rates bills.
Our elected council are such nice people giving our rates payers money so that a few stupid directors get to keep an over paid job again paid for with a council grant of $368,000 pa. and just so they wont stress another $180,000 to dismantle an old grand stand.
We are so luck I'm sure it wont be long before we go from forth most expensive rates in New Zealand to first place.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
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.
