CHCH are fed up with the Great CCC Grift!

Leslie from Avonside - Dallington

CCC but who is paying for all these upgrades. You're spending habits $$$ over these last few years have gotten out of control. How much did it cost to install 20 traffic lights on a tiny intersection in the city? then the removal of those 20 traffic lights?? How much time and cost did it take to change the Red Buses to that really ugly COLD Teal colour? How much did it cost for the Manchester debarcle?? Remove bins from public places where there aren't enough already??? How much is Catherine Chu going to reimburse the Otautahi rate payers for not doing her job? cos you can sure bet if we don't pay our rates on time we get penalised....NO wonder the people of CHCH are fed up with the Great CCC Grift! We have a right to know who and how these decisions are being made.
