Police are warning locals about new rules and increased fines for incorrectly using e-scooters, e-skateboards and other personal mobility devices.

Too many avoidable incidents are occurring between e-scooters and pedestrians Riders suffer broken bones, lose teeth and sustain concussions—in almost every case, their crash was preventable.

E-scooters can be a fun, sustainable and low-cost transport option, but riders must be responsible.

If you are willing to volunteer for any of the sessions to help demonstrate techniques just rock up to the library. Tea and coffee facilities are available. Knit-fest features competitions for community groups, art associations and skilled artisans to decorate trees in our beautiful streetscapes with handmade art installations made of yarn and fibre.
