Trees are an important and beautiful part of our natural landscape.

However, some trees, particularly larger varieties of tree, can become problematic in our built-up urban areas.

Root systems can lift pavements and driveways, or interfere with foundations of buildings, leaves can clog gutters and drains, and there’s the risk of the tree dropping branches or failing.

At Beaver Tree Service we pride ourselves on having the knowledge and skill to assess, prune, or remove trees which are awkwardly located or are a threat to surrounding property. We can also work with you to find the best solution for any tree concerns you may have.

Taupō District Mayor David Trewavas has appointed Taupō ward councillor Kevin Taylor as deputy mayor.

The appointment of Mr Taylor to the role is subject to confirmation at the first meeting of the new council, which will be held on Thursday 27 October.

Local body elections were held on Saturday 8 October, returning Mr Trewavas as mayor, along with seven sitting councillors and five new ones. The recommendation of deputy mayor is one which is traditionally made by the mayor.

Mr Trewavas said Mr Taylor, a second-term councillor and former high-ranking police officer, would be well suited to the role.

“Kevin’s attributes and skills, along with the support he has provided to Council in the last three years will stand him in good stead. I look forward to working with him going forward.”

Mr Taylor says he’s ready to take on the role of deputy mayor and do his best for the Taupō District.

“It’s not a role I was angling for, but I’m honoured to be considered and more than happy to fulfil it; and like I’ve done with other roles, I’ll give it all of my energy and attention.”

Mr Trewavas acknowledged the contribution and commitment of former deputy mayor Christine Rankin. He said he looked forward to working with the new and returning councillors and to a successful three years working together for the betterment of the Taupō District.
