AN EXPERT says the Sumner<br />

Esplanade rock retaining wall<br />

will need to be rebuilt.<br />

Otago University associate<br />

geography professor Mike Hilton<br />

said if the 1.2km seawall is not<br />

rebuilt within 10 years or so,<br />

there will be an<br />

increased risk of<br />

exposure to waves<br />

coming over the<br />

wall.<br />

Prof Hilton<br />

has examined a<br />

report on the wall<br />

from engineering<br />

consultant, Jacobs, which found<br />

there are 19 points along the wall<br />

where repairs are required.<br />

However, Prof Hilton<br />

said there is no immediate<br />

danger.<br />

“In the next few years, the<br />

storm surge on that coast is not<br />

particularly large. However,<br />

when you look beyond the<br />

short-term to the medium-term,<br />

those storms are going to get<br />

significantly larger and will have<br />

a greater impact because the sea<br />

level will be higher,” he said.<br />

Committee member Russell<br />

Dalzell said the intersection of<br />

Main South and Browns Rds<br />

has been concerning locals for<br />

years.<br />

“It’s a real bottleneck intersection.<br />

Anybody travelling<br />

from the southern end to the<br />

northern end has to cross<br />

there,” he said.<br />

“There’s some speed signs<br />

right as you come through<br />

company’s<br />

bid to<br />

introduce<br />

e-scooters<br />

• By Devon Bolger<br />

A LINCOLN-BASED company<br />

is taking on Lime to bring<br />

e-scooters to Selwyn.<br />

Angela and Phillip Eberhard<br />

have recently started a business<br />

named Lava Scooters.<br />

They have applied to the<br />

district council to operate 50<br />

e-scooters from 7-11am, seven<br />

days a week in Rolleston, Lincoln<br />

and Prebbleton. The application<br />

includes the possibility of<br />

expanding to 200 scooters in the<br />

future if successful and allowed.<br />

Mrs Eberhard said they are<br />

excited to be entering the<br />

market.<br />

“Being local and knowing<br />

this community and wanting to<br />

be a part of that is exciting,” she<br />

said.<br />

“Lime is big and that’s probably<br />

more of a risk for us but I think<br />

working and living in this area<br />

makes it more enjoyable and we’re<br />

just hoping the community will<br />

get behind us.”<br />

There are some safety features<br />

that se them apart from Lime,<br />

Mrs Eberhard said.<br />
