Taupō airport manager retires
Taupō airport manager Michael Groome is standing down after 12 years in the role.
Mr Groome has had an extensive career in aviation, both in operational roles and as a pilot, and has also been a farmer. He initially signed up for a one-year fixed contract but stayed on and has overseen several important milestones at the airport, including a new safety management system.
Head of economic development and business transformation John Ridd says Mr Groome’s contribution to the airport and the Taupō Airport Authority has been outstanding, and he will be greatly missed.

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.

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?
