Re: Toxic mould at Tauranga City Council buildings.
The short answer is we, the citizens of Tauranga, would like some independent proof!
I refer to the claim by our city council that the council buildings are not useable because of toxic mould brought about by water leaks in the building.
The country has many leaky buildings and they are fixed and reoccupied all the time.
Cleaners fix mould continually and life goes on.
What is so different about our council building? Here is an offer. Tauranga citizens will engage independent inspectors to assess our building.
If they confirm that the building is not fit for human use, we will be convinced.
Please advise who has the keys.
K Evans, Tauranga City.

Do we set up a "give a little" page to do this?..even tho we pay our dues to expect the "right thing" to be done, we doubt. And as long as we doubt..we will NOT trust...so yes, let's do it!..You know what tho...NO-ONE will give you those keys!...will they?
Not needed.

The council have already stated that it will cost around $7M to fix the old building which is about the same as the finished value would be. Therefore the cost to ratepayers for repair is $7M. The cost of the new setup is around $75M which would obviously be even more borrowed noney with interest to be paid together with increased rates. The cost to the ratepayer would be much higher that the repair option. I thought we got rid of the "big spenders" last election but it seems that we just inherited another lot. Time for another clean out. NO sitting council member will get my vote.
