Broken scooter wanted

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Does anyone have a broken or old bigger kids scooter they don't want? I'm planning on building my son a custom one, but can't get the parts (supply issues everywhere), so I'm hoping someone has the T handle bar, and or wheels I can scavenge.
He's been getting picked on for having a 'little kids' collapsible one, that he's had for 6 years, and has well outgrown.

Footpaths

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Please don’t park across footpaths. It’s not only illegal, it leads to dangerous behaviour.

We have approximately 19 schools, kura and early child centres, plus 5 rest homes, and 2 disability residential centres, in Havelock North alone.
Parking over the footpaths restricts people’s safe movements, by forcing people who are trying to use the footpaths to go onto roads to get where they need to go.

It may inconvenience you, momentarily, to have to park further away and walk, but you endanger others by blocking the footpath. Please don’t.

Imagine you, or your loved one trying to walk with a stroller, or travel in a mobility scooter or wheelchair, trying to get past your car, blocking the footpath. What risk will they have to take, to get by?

The same thing applies to mobility parks. They aren’t there for you to just “pop in and out real quick”.
Your “real quick” is a long time for someone with limited mobility, or health issues.

Show some empathy.
