Poll: City to compromise on rates increase
Ngā mihi o te ata kiritata,
Palmerston North City Council may drop its 4.4 per cent rates increase to 1.95 per cent following the hardships of a Covid-19 recession.
Nearly half the public submissions on the draft budget asked council to freeze rates or reduce the increase.

Are they making the right decision?
-
16.2% Āe, we need a rise to progress the city
-
83.8% Kāore, families are suffering and need a buffer
