Poll: Does one hour free parking entice you to visit the central city?

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

The one-hour free parking offer in Christchurch City Council-owned parking buildings is coming to an end on Monday August 31.

The three-month offer was introduced to support central city retail and hospitality businesses recovering from the Covid-19 lockdown.

The Lichfield Street and Christchurch Art Gallery parking buildings will charge normal rates from Monday.

Does an hour of free parking make you more likely to visit the CBD?

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!
