Local Council Elections 2019
One more week to go until we start to receive our voting papers in the mail (20th to 25th September).
Hi I’m Mo, first-time candidate running for Taupō District Council. You may have seen my profile in the Taupō & Tūrangi Weekender on Thursday. I wanted to let you know a little more about what I stand for, which is:
• Inclusivity – meeting the needs of our entire district, diverse in culture and perspective.
• Protection of our environment - restoring green spaces and waterways and promoting green initiatives.
• Ensuring future generations are not overburdened with meeting the cost of living in our beautiful district.
• Prioritisation of spending on essential services – tackling infrastructure issues before entering into other large-scale financial commitments.
• Better communication - between Council and our community.
• A more representative council - younger voice, fresh perspective, free from ties to big business.
Please get in touch if you have any questions for me. I’d love to hear from you.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
