Would love to hear from you :)
Hi neighbours,
Taupō Times reporter Robert Steven here.
Every year we like to get in touch with Neighbourly members and invite them to let us know what matters in Taupō/Turangi/Mangakino and wider and what they think needs closer attention.
Is there something that you want to get off your chest and share with the wider community?
Here are a few things Neighbourly members have shared with us previously:
- A local crime and safety matter
- An unpopular council decision [or a popular one]
- Someone in the community doing something special
- A question about something going on in the community
If you have anything you think we should look into a little closer, then flick me a reply to this message.
We’ll need to assess each idea for its 'newsworthiness' so I apologise, in advance, if we don't go ahead with an article about the issue you raise. Feel free to call to buzz it by me if you want to check -- 027 204 2904.
Don’t forget that Neighbourly is a great place to get the conversation started and we do keep a close eye on the noticeboard.
Thanks!
Robert Steven, Journalist, Taupō Times
