Paul to stand for mayoralty
Do you think Tamantha Paul would make a good mayor? Does she have enough experience?
The 23-year-old said she is considering challenging incumbent Andy Foster, who has endured a torrid first term so far and is reportedly already planning for the 2022 election.
Her motivation for standing comes from a desire to be more involved in council decision making.
“I’m a little bit frustrated about how much power and resources we have in doing substantial stuff,” Paul said.
“There are more ambitious and aspirational things I wanted to be able to do on the council.”

RATES ASSESSMENT
Hi Neighours
By now, you must have received notice of Rates Valuation from the City Council.
Any real estate agent will tell you that at the moment, most properties in Wellington are selling 25-30% below
council valuation.
Though the letter says, rating valuation is NOT for the purpose of Rates adjustment, we know well that it will follow.
Is it fair to assume that QV which stands to gain a good income from the desk-top valuation, will not disappoint their patron?
Is there a Rate Payers Association in Wellington ?
