Trees get a thumbs-down this week.

Trees get a thumbs-down this week.

Thumbs up

  • Thumbs up to the beautiful and amazing immunisation nurse, Sarah Popard, at the Taupō Medical Centre. She has looked after many Taupō tamariki for the last 30 years and has always been there for my two boys since they were born. She recently helped and got my sensitive oldest through his first meningitis vaccination these holidays, and we both very much appreciate her understanding, empathy and compassion. Thank you for being you, Sarah. You are outstanding at what you do.
  • Thumbs up to the road workers who are quick with a smile and a wave. You brighten up being stuck in traffic!

Thumbs down

  • Thumbs down to house owners who plant trees behind their houses which then grow up and block the views of neighbours behind.

Email your thumbs up/thumbs down to news@taupoturangiherald.co.nz, message Taupō & Tūrangi Herald on Facebook or drop into our office, upstairs at 4 Starlight Arcade, Taupō. Messages may be edited or abridged. Thumbs down that refer to easily identifiable people, businesses or private groups won’t be published.
