Last week, following weather warnings and torrential rain, slips across the Coromandel and  Bay of Plenty wreaked havoc, cutting off communities, damaging houses, and worst of all, taking lives.

Tauranga's mayor is hoping some of the public have suggestions of how the council can balance its books. A Government-imposed rates cap means, from 2028, councils will only be allowed to increase rates 4 percent at most. Tauranga Council is forecasting a 5 to 11 percent annual rise. Mayor Mahe Drysdale says it's already cut $38 million, but it isn't sure where more to cut. "The big items are things like depreciation, interest - if you build infrastructure and you borrow money, those costs effectively just come out the next year."

There's outrage in Papamoa over the news that their asphalt roads will be replaced with chip seal resurfacing. Tauranga City Council has confirmed the roads were only scheduled for resealing if they were showing early signs of surface deterioration. The Council's Head of Transport, Mike Seabourne, says resurfacing the roads with asphalt would have been too expensive. "One of the elements for us is - the asphalt is used in certain circumstances, like on intersections or with heavy vehicles, it's really good for that. But for residential roads, we can use chip seal in a much more cost effective way." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
