Can Auckland Council save money and keep rates low without removing services?

  • Summary

  • Auckland Council’s financial situation has been under the spotlight for months now.

    With costs rising, the council has been trying to find some ways to save money without cutting back on services.

    Those decisions have ranged from removing rubbish bins around the city, to a since U-turned proposal for a long-term lease for Port of Auckland.

    And while the Government has offered hope on water prices, Mayor Wayne Brown and his councillors still have some tough choices to make.

    Today on The Front Page, Herald senior writer Simon Wilson joins us to discuss the challenges coming for our Super City.
