. with the points raised by all the posters here so far. BEFORE there can be any talk of Rates increase, there HAS TO BE talk of admin savings, efficiency increase, transparency, answerability, and NO SUGGESTION of wage increases for TCC Councillors or staff until there is a performance increase to justify it.

Clout always has a ’but’ to add and so the division continues. Get rid the lot of them and start again. Tenby had the right ideas and direction but perhaps went about it the wrong way due to the divided, appalling, self agendered others. You can only pull in every direction for so long before everything drips and falls completely apart. Now it’s time to rebuild which in the demolition stage of the process could get messy and will need the inevitable rates rise. Onwards and upwards.

A woman has died after being mauled by a shark at Waihī Beach, despite desperate first aid provided on the beach.
It is understood the woman was dragged from the water alive and paramedics administered CPR on the beach to no avail.
National lifesaving manager for Surf Lifesaving New Zealand Andy Kent told
Morning Report the victim and their family are in their thoughts, as well as those lifeguards who had to deal with the incident. The lifeguards had a debrief last night just to come to terms with what had happened and I think again this morning they re all rallying around each other to make sure everyone is supported.
Western Bay of Plenty District Mayor Garry Webber also said he feels for all those involved including the victim, her family and the crew that tried to help her yesterday.
Kent said the council has not closed the beach but lifeguard patrols would not be functioning as usual.
