Huge thumbs up to Shawn at Advantage Tyres Taupō in Runanaga Street. I arrived at work with a flat tyre and in five minutes you changed my leaking valve with a smile and no charge. Best service, best tyre shop in town.
Heartfelt thanks to the person who handed in my wallet at Pak’nSave on Friday morning. It was very honest of you and I’m very grateful.
Thumbs up to Mary-Louise for always helping the community with the Taupō Good Sort Award. You are an extremely passionate community member.
Thumbs down
All the work done down the disastrous main street and lakefront is just for show. Behind the scenes, the gardens are full of weeds and the grass is out of control. One park I know of has grass so long, it’s almost a fire hazard. Our cul de sac gets mowed when one of the residents complains. Don’t put in lawns and gardens unless they can be fully maintained. - A disgruntled ratepayer.
Thumbs down to those responsible for reinstating the road markings at the start of Poihipi Road. It’s been months like this. Does anyone in road maintenance care?
Thumbs down mega to new recycling rules. Too big. Too small, not clean enough. No lids despite being clean and correct class. Forget it, just put it into landfill. Too difficult to bother anymore. Clean and green New Zealand! Bury it or burn it!! Thanks, New Zealand Government.
Thumbs down to the Taupō District Council for deciding in November last year to no longer provide aqua classes during the school holidays. Given that most participants are older people, aqua is a gentle exercise and a chance to socialise with like-minded people. To find out by email rather than management advising is rather rude, also no offer of a refund unless we ask.
