Marlborough eateries take on level two challenges to reopen

Alice Angeloni Reporter from Marlborough Express

Marlborough restaurants and hotels are grappling with the challenges to operate safely in alert level two.

Restaurants have started preparing to follow the Government’s “three S’s” rules of social distancing — seated, separated, and single-server, when the move to level two is permitted. The Government is due to announce that decision today.

The rules mean all patrons must be seated, there must be appropriate distancing between tables, and each table must have a single server, with no counter service available to minimise contact.

Marlborough Public House co-owner Paul Frost said his restaurant had a capacity of 200 customers but under the new rules he can only have 100 people in the venue, which meant only 85 customers and 15 staff.

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!
