Mobility scooter users now have the choice of a comet or a cutie to let them smell the roses.
Brian Jeffares' dream of people being able to hire mobility scooters to explore Victoria Esplanade and the riverside attractions has come true, just in time for summer.
At the launch of the free service on Monday in the Esplanade rose gardens, Mayor Grant Smith thanked Jeffares for his determination to get the project off the ground. "You get things done, well done."
The retired Awapuni resident had gone to see him and put in a submission to the council's 10-Year Plan.
