Subject:Re levy
Ceo and councillors,
Having recently paid our rates, we would like to register our objection to the Mitchell MPHS levy on our rate notices. Our family had to pay this 8 times, which is totally unacceptable. How your council could come up with such an unfair and stupid decision is beyond belief.;
we hope we dont see any more of it in future.
Yours faithfully,
Bob and Margaret Rowbotham
