We Say/You Say: Is it time for Te Awamutu to shed its rose town identity?

Reporter Cambridge Edition

Kia ora neighbours,

There could be a second attempt at reimagining Te Awamutu's brand as the Rose Town of New Zealand, following on from research conducted in 2016 around residents' appetite for change.

The initial survey found public opinion was too divided to create the momentum for change - particularly between age groups. Some residents can remember when rose gardens were common for almost every household, while others believe the town is overdue for a modern rebrand.

What do you think - should the Rose Town name stay or go? Share your thoughts below and don't forget to type NFP if you don't want your comment featured in the Conversations section of the Cambridge Edition.
