Have you always wanted to scooter to work? Now is your chance!
About 600 electric scooters (e-scooters) have been launched in Auckland by California-based company Lime. The scooters can travel at speeds of up to 27kmh and have a maximum range of 48km. But not everyone is impressed, with some calling labeling the scooters as a "menace on footpaths". To read more about them, click here.
What are your thoughts on them? Will you give them a go? Will it be cheaper for you to scooter to work rather than drive and pay for parking? Or do you think they're a hazard for pedestrians? Share you thoughts with us in the replies below!

Crashes in Auckland are causing traffic delays for motorists ahead of Labour Weekend.
Auckland Transport advised motorists to allow extra time for their journeys this morning. A crash at 7.40am along the northwestern motorway was blocking the middle lane eastbound after Newton Rd, the New Zealand Transport Agency said. Footage from traffic cameras showed the speed on the motorway had been reduced to 50kmh.
Tamaki Makaurau Road Policing Manager Inspector Scott Webb says traffic congestion is going to reach peak levels on Friday and Saturday as motorists leave Auckland for the long weekend.
Inspector Webb says three people were killed and eight people were seriously injured on our roads across Tamaki Makaurau during Labour Day Weekend in 2017.

For all you lovely parents in my neighbourhood, I just wanted some feedback to gauge if one of my ideas will be of benefit to you and your little/big ones at home for this coming November.
I was thinking of allocating one hour a day to help children living on the shore develop social, leadership, communication and sportsmanship skills with other children of different backgrounds through sport. More so, if it's not for these reasons, it is to build friendships and getting kids out of their comfort zone in a safe environment.
1.5 hrs for $15 each late afternoon/evening depending on what suits to most parents for ~2 weeks.
Would anyone be interested?
I have over 2 years of experience working with children by conducting birthday parties dressed up as a genie/moana. Happy to share reviews with you if interested. I'm also completing my 3rd year in pharmacy at the University of Auckland - you can trust me!
PS: All proceeds will be donated to a hospice close to my heart in memory of my grandfather for my 21st birthday in Jan.
Let me know your thoughts! :)
RATIONALE: Every day I see students at university who lack basic social etiquette and skills, emotional intelligence, and bravery to interact with other students who are not like them - this needs to change. I've spent my formative years in over three countries giving me an advantage to help your child become more flexible to change and more optimistic about diversity. Feel free to message me for more information. With as much as I can do, I want to be out here in the community using my time to build relationships with children/people in my community in as little as an hour a day.
Time for that Spring Clean-up, Grasslands have all the tools you need. Come in to view the great mower specials, sprays for pest and weed control. BBQ time is also upon us- we have a great Ziegler & Brown package for you!!

Here are some tips to make sure you and your loved ones are well prepared and stay safe:
1. Check the marine weather forecast before you go out, it could save your life! 58% of boaties already check it. We want the other 42% to make it a habit. MetService New Zealand's Marine App makes it easy.
2. Tests your life jackets. Pull hard on the straps and see if any of them stretch or rip. Check all over for any existing tears in the straps and any cuts or punctures in the life jacket. If yes, do not use the life jacket, dispose of it, and replace it. Always check if it floats before putting them on. Keep in mind kapok life jackets should not be used as they can absorb water and sink, their cotton straps also easily rip! Burn them or bin them, but whatever you do - don't use or resell them.
3. For this year's Safer Boating Week, boaties are being reminded to “Prep, Check, Know” - prepare your boat, check your gear and know the rules before going on the water.
Let's put in the time and effort to make sure there are NO water related accidents or deaths this Labour Day long-weekend! Don't forget to look out for each other and report any concerns you have to local authorities.
