Kiwis love our lawns and traditionally we expect our councils to keep the lawns of our public parks and verges tidy and well mowed and to get rid of any weeds.

But actually a neat and tidy green lawn is a food desert for pollinators, and leaving grass unmown and letting so-called weeds like clover and dandelion flower provides food for bees and helps support biodiversity. Would you be happy if your local authority let the grass in your local parks grow long and allowed weeds to flourish?

There are already CCTV cameras monitoring enforcement on Fanshawe Street.
Bus lanes are for buses, motorcycles, scooters and cyclists. Other vehicles can enter the bus lane to turn left up to 50 metres before turning. The infringement fee for driving illegally in a bus lane is $150, this fee is set by central government, not Auckland Transport.
