Regional council rates set to go up
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.

What are your thoughts? Should there be no rates increase? Or is it better to get work done sooner rather than latter?

-
0% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
0% ... It is complicated
