February 2019
This evening we had two guest speakers.
Maurice O’Reilly — Tauranga City Governance & Planning. How did we get in the mess we are now in and who really controls the direction of the council. Not who you think. One comment was “ TCC CEO is paid according to the number of staff on the payroll. Where is the incentive to cut costs” To see presentation click here
Rod Simpson — Why do we need to chip seal over perfectly good hot mix roads and the shocking standard of recent chip sealing done by Higgins in his street. And then there are the TCC replies to complaints about the chipsealing which are pure “foboff” material designed to create confusion.
