Do you want electric scooters in the capital?
Hi neighbours,
Are you keen to try out Lime scooters in your city? Because Wellington is next on the list to receive them - potentially just in time for summer!
The scooters have already been launched in Auckland and Christchurch, and now Lime are in talks with Wellington City Council.
Some people are in support of the scooters, others have found a way to make extra pocket money from them, and even singer Taylor Swift was apparently spotted on one in Auckland recently. But the scooters have also caused controversy as one model has already been recalled.
So what are your thoughts on the scooters? Do think they'd be a great way to zip along the Wellington streets? Or are they an accident waiting to happen? Share your thoughts with us in the replies below!

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.2% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.8% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Garden Open days 8th, 15th and possibly 22nd March, 34 St Johns Tce, Tawa
Hi. This is just a reminder that we are inviting you to come and explore our garden tomorrow from 10.30 until 4pm to share in its early autumn beauty. It took quite a beating from the recent storm but we have worked very hard and it is looking wonderful. Garden entry is $5 per adult and we are collecting donations for the Malaghan Institute of Medical Research, Wellington.
We will also have plenty of locally grown flowering plants and succulents for sale so remember to bring plenty of spending money.
See you soon
Carolyn and Rob
