Sweet result for Lime fans as scooter trial gets set for extension

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Lime scooters look like they are here to stay in Christchurch – and there could be even more of them on the city's roads and footpaths.

The council is set to extend a permit for the electronic scooters for another 12 months, as well as increasing the number on the streets to 1000.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
