Opinion
When some current regional councillors state “I aways vote to keep rates rises at or below the CPI” it could be argued that they’re being somewhat economical with the truth.
Indisputable Fact = By keeping rates deliberately and artificially low by way of running significant deficit budgets ($ 7 million this financial year) you are simply operating under fiscally unsound policies as well as being socially irresponsible. All you are doing is shifting the financial onus and burden onto future ratepayers without actually addressing the real issues which caused the deficit in the first instance.

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
