RA submission to Porirua City Council on its 10-year plan

The Residents Association made the following submission to Porirua City Council on its 10-year plan up to 2023.

The increased costs ratepayers are now expected to pay for necessary work in the city are a direct consequence of the approach of previous councils to keep rate increases as low as possible by not investing in infrastructure. This same error has come back to bite councils across the country, and we hope that has changed the approach PCC will take in the future. We understand this might be unpopular with ratepayers, but there are important intergenerational equity issues in this, and councils cannot continue to ‘kick the can down the road’ for any longer.

We can take quality goods off your hands, such as bric-a-brac, working appliances, furniture, sporting equipment, garden and household tools, machinery (that works), toys, books (but only children’s books this year), and clothing (no underwear!) Please keep in mind this is a fundraiser and items need to be in good condition. If we think it won’t sell we won’t accept it.
