Lime eyes a new territory - a semi-rural district with plenty of open road

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Decision makers in a mostly-rural district are split on whether to welcome Lime's electric scooters, due in part to concerns about riders taking to the open road and risking serious injury.

The company was on Wednesday given cautious approval by the Selwyn District Council to undertake a trial of 200 scooters in Rolleston, west of Christchurch, on the condition numerous issues were resolved first.

It would be the first community outside of a major urban area in New Zealand to host the scooters, which are popular in Auckland, Christchurch and Dunedin.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
