		<description>Posts in the forum category &quot;Ratepayer Feedback&quot; - This site has been set up to encourage Councils to save time, effort &amp; money by freely and openly sharing information.  I&#039;d assume most ratepayers would see the benefits in Councils sharing information, but I could be wrong.  If you are a ratepayer, please feel free to have your say here.</description>
