Christchurch rates increase labelled 'obscene and unsustainable' - what do you think?

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Hi neighbours,

Christchurch rates will go up by 54 per cent over the next 10 years, prompting one city councillor to liken his colleagues to "drunken sailors at a spending orgy".

Hi neighbours,

Christchurch rates will go up by 54 per cent over the next 10 years, prompting one city councillor to liken his colleagues to "drunken sailors at a spending orgy".

Five councillors – James Gough, Sam MacDonald, Aaron Keown, Phil Mauger and Catherine Chu – voted against the long-term plan (LTP), and the rates increase saying they believed the council did not go anywhere near far enough to cut its costs.

However, other councillors and mayor Lianne Dalziel said they believed the council had struck the right balance.

What do you think? Let us know below.

Do you think it is the best-looking street in the country? Or is there another street you think is more beautiful? Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it included in an article. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Christchurch residents will be charged for excess water use from July, though no fines will be issued for the first year as people get used to the scheme.

The charge was one of many points discussed by the Christchurch City Council on Monday as it ratified and voted on final amendments to the city's 10-year budget, known formally as the long-term plan.

The council also decided not to decommission Wharenui Pool (though funding past 2022 remains unclear), and voted to give the Arts Centre a $5.5 million grant, keep the Riccarton bus lounge open, and retain the mobile library for now.

Although the council intended to start the excess water use charge next month, Cr Sara Templeton said no fines would be dished out the first year, to allow people to get used to the change.

Read more, including who will be affected by the new charge, here.
