Foolish hand outs to businesses should stop

The Hutt City council has a culture of throwing money at businesses to encourage them to develop in Lower Hutt. This is often done indiscriminately with no real benefit to ratepayers. It is usually done behind closed doors with the public unaware of what is going on.

Instead of throwing money at developers to entice them to build here, lets tighten up the district plan to make it a desirable place for apartment living.
