It is unbelievable for a mayor who can propose such a ridiculous idea amidst a pandemic which will most likely cause a global economic slowdown. New Zealand will not escape from the hit as part of the international economy. Auckland, the largest city of NZ, will be adversely impacted by the slowdown as well. Even the central government has provided financial assistance to those suffering from the hardship in the lockdown period, I wonder why the Auckland Council could proceed the rate rise in this unprecedented difficult time. Not even considering to help out local residents to go through this difficult time, our Council is trying to add financial burden to the local residents.
In the 4 weeks lockdown, all infrastructure construction activities have ceased. Mr Goff also said that Auckland Council was already shedding contracts and temporary staff. It is reasonably estimated that Auckland Council would spend much less in the current financial year. Based on this estimate, it has absolutely no reason to raise the rates. On the opposite, Auckland Council should decrease the rates in this financial year to help the property owners to weather through the anticipated economic slowdown.
I have emailed my request to the Councillors of Howick Ward, Sharon Stewart and Paul Young, but got no response (so disappointed without even receiving an acknowledgement as a matter of courtesy).
As the rate increase will affect all residents in Auckland, no matter you are property owners or tenants, I hope you could voice out your views on this issue by emailing to the elected representatives of your ward who have promised to act on our interest in the last election.

Hey everyone,

You might have read my posts earlier asking questions, buying/selling stuff etc etc. Today it will be different. I will try to shamelessly sell myself.
I am a professional web developer with 17 years of experience and starting out with self employment with my fried Paula Wilson who is from Waikato and a well established writer and writes for blogs, websites etc., in short all types of web content. I currently work full time for Serato, the only homegrown kiwi company with a global presence in music industry. I founded Rushlane.com, a successful startup in the automotive industry.
I can develop any type of web based systems i.e. brochure website, e-commerce solution, systems to automate your business processes like lead management, automated emails, invoice processing etc (very effective for tradies and service based businesses). I mean think web or mobile apps and I am pretty confident that I will be able to do it. I have good knowledge of online and social media marketing and happy to provide maintenance services too.
You will talk to a real person who is based here locally and will be doing all your work, not with a contractor who hires offshore staff to cut costs. I will provide fixed quote for a fixed scope of work. No job too big or too small.
I can provide references from kiwi companies, one of which is a leader in their domain and you might have already heard of them. I manage their business systems and online marketing.
Please feel free to connect or refer us to your friends. Our website butsnbytes.co.nz is still under development but you can always text or call me on 02108065533.
Thanks for reading my long shameless self promotion post.
