Rodney gave just enough support for the transport targeted rate to go ahead – with 53 per cent of submitters lining up behind the proposal.

The Rodney Local Board's transport targeted rate will move to the next stage of investigation. 

The rate would cost ratepayers between $114-200 per annum and replace the council's transport levy – which would expire in June 2018.

What do you think? Do you agree with paying a targeted rate?

If you have problems with services or products, you may be protected by the CGA. You should expect services to be carried out with appropriate competency and skills, and completed to a reasonable standard.

For example, Jan had two painters provide quotes for some painting and wallpaper work. She chose her painter and the work was completed. Two weeks later she noticed bumps and lumps in the wallpaper, that she hadn’t noticed at the time the bill was paid.

With a faulty product, you can return it and ask for a repair, replacement or refund. But that’s not so easy with a service! But Jan’s story ended well, the painter came back and rectified the problem at no cost to Jan.
