Water Chlorination - a Rates Rise of 6.4% coming
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: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
