Why did Council stop urban mowing?

The decision to stop urban berm mowing was not made lightly. Rising costs left council with limited options, and feedback from the community through the LTP consultation indicated a strong preference for cutting costs.

It’s important to note that Horowhenua was one of the few councils still offering this service, and while we acknowledge that some may be disappointed with the decision, it was made to relieve financial pressure on ratepayers, particularly those on fixed incomes.
