Parking pays

The Team from Marlborough District Council

Council staff and parking wardens have been out on the streets helping people adjust to the new Pay by Plate meters.

While many have got the hang of it, some think that because there isn’t a meter at every parking space, they don’t have to pay. It’s important to remember the Pay by Plate meters are shared meters - this means there’s one meter for every seven parking spaces.

So now, once you’ve parked you simply walk in the direction you’re heading, and when you come to a Pay by Plate meter you pay for your parking – it’s easy.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
