The old saying.. if it sounds to good to be true it properly is.. Is where I see the New Plymouth's vibrant feel good image heading without sustainable checks and balances. As we all know.. all good things come to an end... But the ramifications and costs attached to cerate the feel good image remains. Higher rates and living costs. The NPDC is so wrapped up in the whistles and bells and its feel good image, they tend to forget about those on fixed incomes that cant afford the whistles and bells. Mainly are elderly that because of their age and fixed incomes don't get to enjoy all the whiz and the pop the feel good image curates. All the fancy who-ha associated with it only increases their living costs.
The NPDC has also locked a large portion of their general rates into whistles and bells. By maintaining their vibran whistles and bells the NPDC are now past their means to maintain the extra costs without increasing rates or cutting core services. The first casualty the long awaited and planned Urenui/Onaero Sewerage Scheme being put on the back burner.
