Proposed change to rubbish collection
I received an enquiry last night from a friend who had been talking to an elderly woman who is renting a property. She was unsure as to who would be paying for the new bins. As Council are putting these costs on our rates I assume the landlord is responsible. On saying this, does this mean that rents will now rise in an already over priced rental market? Given that we received a $340 rates rebate in 2019 and a miserable $50 in 2020 this Council is indeed making the people of Tauranga pay for their fiscal mistakes!! We have it on good authority that this decision re the rebates was the Council's decision!!! Trust the new Commission taking over the Council will indeed look into every detail!

I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?
