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.
Are they making the right decision?
This is the type with small holes to let the water seep out slowly. Looking for offcuts you may like to get rid of please. Anything from a couple of metres to 20-30 metres. Happy to buy. Many thanks, Stewart.
A friend of mine in his eighty's needs live-in help or to go into care. His preference is live-in help. He lives in Otaki. I'm happy to pass any enquiries on to him. Thank you.
Our dog passed away recently and so we no longer need his kennel. It is very large -- it was built for him and his late sister -- and they were the size of a collie and a beagle.

It is very large -- it was built for him and his late sister -- and they were the size of a collie and a beagle. It would probably be big enough for one very large dog. It's about 1200mm wide, 1150mm high and 1120mm deep. It is made of construction ply with a corrugated iron roof and I insulated the interior behind some sheets of gib. We live in Manakau and a trailer would definitely be needed to take it away. I'm happy to help load it. Please drop me a line on Neighbourly or at d.macintyre@xtra.co.nz

As a nation, we recently held a moving ANZAC Day commemoration. So now is a good time to reflect on how we treat our military personnel during and after their service. It speaks volumes about who we are as New Zealanders.
Let’s not leave those who serve our country behind.

Can New Zealand do more to ensure that past, present and future service people - and their whānau – are recognised and supported?

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?

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?
It's one of many home dilemmas we come across on Homed, along with toilet paper over or under? cutlery up or down in the dishwasher? top sheet or no top sheet?, to name a few. Read more about the arguments for each and see how many people agree with you, here.
Mōrena kiritata,
Level 2 has brought with it the chance for kids to reunite with their friends as schools reopen for the first time in weeks.
However, some parents have chosen to keep their children at home.
What have you done?
