Regional council rates set to go up

Jono Galuszka Reporter from Manawatū Standard

Mōrena neighbours,

Horizons Regional Council is asking people to get in touch about its annual plan, which as it stands has rates going up by 1 per cent.

Some councillors say rates need to stay flat, while others say what is not paid for now needs paying for later.

What are your thoughts? … View more

Some councillors say rates need to stay flat, while others say what is not paid for now needs paying for later.

What are your thoughts? Should there be no rates increase? Or is it better to get work done sooner rather than latter?

Small businesses are vital to the recovery of our economy.

During the Covid-19 restrictions, business owners have shown initiative, hard work and resilience to keep afloat.

But many have been hit hard.

Lack of clarity about just how heavy the toll of the restrictions have been on individual businesses and their ability to quickly rebound adds to the uncertainty of the national economic recovery.

Therefore, Prosper is launching a survey targeted at finding out the scale of Covid-19's impact.

You can take that survey right now – it will only take a few minutes.
