New Year's Day litter pick-up
We all love living and visiting our district so why not take the opportunity on New Year’s Day to get together with friends and continue to look after the place we love?
A litter pick-up event is organised for January 1 between 8am and 10am at the Lakefront Reserve (opposite Taupō Mini Golf).
You are welcome to show up at anytime through until 10am and stay for as little or as long as you want. Everything is provided (although gumboots may be a good idea for areas where water level is high).
Come along, keep our lakefront looking great and treat yourself at the end with pancakes fresh of the griddle!
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.
