Water Chlorination - a Rates Rise of 6.4% coming

Pauline from Hospital Hill

The council want to know if we agree to their planned rates rise of 6.4%. Say "NO" to chlorinated water and "NO" to the rates rise if it means they continue chlorinating our water.
NCC has budgeted $20 million on water treatment plants etc but we still end up with all the CHLORINE PROBLEMS:
1) our natural immunity to illness undermined
2) painful skin conditions
3) discoloured water from the chlorine stripping biofilm from inside the pipes - which ends up, not in the gutter, as they used to do, but in our kitchen sinks.
This is our chance to tell this council we will NOT accept a rates rise. Don't be misled by the council’s website - Napier could safely follow the Christchurch example. For more information email Guardians of the Aquifer: p.doyle@hotmail.com
Submissions deadline Monday 13th May.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
