Could Tongariro St become like Cuba St in Wellington?
Making Tongariro St a pedestrian-only street is one idea in the council's District Economic Strengthening plan.
Instead of Tongariro St, Titiraupenga St would become the main arterial road for travel through Taupō. Walking through Tongariro Domain's gardens would become much easier for visitors.

>> Does the idea of a pedestrian-only street, with cafes looking across to the Tongariro Domain, sound good?

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
