Petition against the Massive Rates Increase.
We have the support of over 1900 people on the Petition against the UHCC's proposed 20% rates rise for the next 3 years. This is a 73% increase in our rates which equates to $30-$50 per week for most.
This is disgusting, and when you compare it with $2200 just look and potentially not even fix a water leak. It seems like our rates are going down the drain. Yet the mayor has been directed by many retired plumbers to solutions but seems to come up with the same response, "Wellington Water wont last much longer" This has been the stock response for too long. We need Action!
We would love your support to show the Council that Upper Hutt is against these massive increases. From our research we cannot see in 3 years since the last LTP why the council are needing to do increases to this level.

The petition is planned to be available until the 28th of May 2024. We will present the petition to the council, hopefully with as many signatures as we can get.

Through this process we have asked the council several questions relating to issues we have noticed and clarifications. The answers to these have not been very forthcoming. Below is a link to the questions and responses we have had with the council. Unfortunately after our last request for clarifications the council decided that they no longer wished to answer any questions and shut down the lines of communication (Stonewalled us):
Black = Our Initial Questions
Blue = Council Responses
Red = Our Last Responses
