Events season kicks off
This weekend marks the start of our jam-packed events calendar and it's going to be another good one!
One of the biggest and most visible events on this weekend is Graffiato: Taupo Street Art Festival, the legendary art event that happens annually at this time of year.
Graffiato, run by Towncentre Taupo, brings together New Zealand's top street artists to paint the bare walls of our town centre's shop sides and back alleys. There are already 80 murals around the district and even more will be added this weekend.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
