What the new look i-Site in Taumarunui won’t look like.
It’s not the i-Site for sore eyes Taumarunui residents will want to see. Plans to refresh i-Sites in the Ruapehu district have been unveiled – but the artist’s impression for Taumarunui has come with a spelling error. The Taumarunui sign is drawn with an errant ‘a’ in the town’s name. It’s not an uncommon spelling error – a quick Google search found Te Papa among the more high profile offenders. Trip advisor gets tripped up – and so does a website inviting people to join the defence force. Ruapehi Council communications manager Paul Wheatcroft said shortly after the original artist’s impression of the refreshed Taumarunui i-Site was posted on social media the error was pointed out and the image corrected. He assured residents the new signs would be just want “u” would expect. And for the record, the King Country News is not throwing stones in glass houses – we know how easy it is to hit a wrong key.
