Te Aroha Spa
What do you think we should do?
Alternative option: Stop work on it all together?
Roading
What do you think we should do?
Proposed option: Reduce our roading renewal programme to cut costs?
Walking and cycling improvements
What do you think we should do?
Alternative option: Continue to steadily improve walking and cycling connections, but over a longer time frame?
Do you have any comments on this?
Some of the tracks are being re-furbished, but the drainage appears to be left the same ( Domain to Tui in particular ) , water running on to a newly refurbished track makes no sense !
Revenue and Finance Policy
Do you agree with the proposed Revenue and Financing Policy?
Yes, I agree
Do you have any comments on this?
Does council have anyone dedicated to creating wealth from its assets ?
Te Aroha Library
What do you think we should do?
Proposed option: Investigate and deliver a suitable building to continue providing library services in Te Aroha?
Our Approach to Rates and Debt
What do you think we should do?
Proposed option: Accept that our rates need a significant increase in the year ahead to manage the significant increase in costs set out in the Consultation Document?
Do you have any comments?
Its better to take the hit early with the proposed option, however council needs to stick to their forecast , as double digit rate increases are unsustainable for the average person . Lets not forget , the additional costs of the rubbish,food-scrap collections already levied in the past rates increase .
The services we provide
What do you think we should do?
Proposed option: Continue to provide all the current services, to mostly the same standard?
