$900,000 worth of lights destined for Christchurch Botanic Gardens
Trees in Christchurch's Botanic Gardens will be lit up year-round by the end of next month.
The Christchurch City Council is spending $900,000 on 119 lights to be placed in the Armstrong Lawn area adjacent to Rolleston Ave.
Some members of the public were concerned about the light pollution and the effect the lights would have on the ecosystem.
Council head of parks Andrew Rutledge said the lights had almost no UV spectrum, which reduced or eliminated insects' attraction to the light. The lights could also be dimmed and would not be on all night.
