Te Aroha Spa

What do you think we should do?

Alternative option: Stop work on it all together?

Any other comments on Te Aroha Spa:

Its great the way it is. I can always get a booking. Don't ruin it by making it bigger.


Roading

What do you think we should do?

Alternative option: Keep roading renewals at the current level?

Any other comments on roading renewals:

The roads must be safe, don't over spend. They seem fine at the moment.


Town Centre infrastructure

What do you think we should do?

Alternative option: Stick to the plan?

Do you have any comments on this?

The town centres are all very good, clean and well maintained. We enjoy the lovely gardens all around Te Aroha.


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?

Any other comments on Te Aroha Library:

The library is fantastic! Beautiful old building is perfect as a library! Don't move it or close it. Great location, easy parking, wonderful staff .


Our Approach to Rates and Debt

What do you think we should do?

Alternative option: Borrow money to help cover the high increase for the year ahead?

Do you have any comments?

Please keep rates low. It's hard for pensioners to survive as costs go up. You must make money from the Domain businesses, where does that income go? Art centre, info centre, spa, pool, cafe, Beauty house,etc. We use all these services. I'm sure council has other income besides rates.


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?

Any other comments on this?

All services are needed, please don't over spend. Maybe some events can have donation boxes or raffle tickets to help with expenses.
