Street view: Do you get value for money from your rates?

Rosslyn Finnerty

I don't think about it really. I just pay it because I have to.

I get a discount for being on my own but no not really. This City Focus business, spending our money. And the cycleway. It's not planned or thought out. It would be all right if it made sense.

Carole Harris

Rubbish collection is okay but I still prefer the old method. And I think the mayor should be more open and not do so much behind closed doors.

Never. I have property here and at Okere. At Okere we have what's called formed roads but they don't get service. Our understanding is they should be serviced. If they were I wouldn't mind paying my rates.
