COMPLETED: Lincoln High School’s new outdoor mural captures the beauty of Mahoe Reserve<br />
in Lincoln. <br />
Reserve mural at school<br />
A OUTDOOR mural capturing<br />
the beauty of Mahoe Reserve has<br />
been completed at Lincoln High<br />
School.<br />
The new mural located at<br />
school’s tuck shop was painted<br />
by the school’s sustainability<br />
council over the school<br />
holidays.<br />
Over the past school holidays<br />
students spent hours painting<br />
the new mural designed by artist<br />
and Springston resident Mike<br />
Glover.<br />
The students chose to embark<br />
on the project as a way of<br />
raising awareness of the school’s<br />
sustainability council and to<br />
demonstrate what the Lincoln<br />
environment has to offer.<br />
This ranges from native plants<br />
in the Mahoe reserve to the<br />
township’s church and Lincoln<br />
being the first Envirotown in<br />
New Zealand.<br />
The project was supported by<br />
the Lincoln Farmers’ and Craft<br />
Market.<br />
Year 13 student Amy Burney<br />
said it taught students the<br />
importance of working together<br />
with the community to promote<br />
awareness of the environment.<br />
COVERED UP: Reserved car-parking signs have been<br />
removed from outside a line of shops in Lincoln. <br />
Reserved car parks<br />
have been removed<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
RESERVED car parking signs<br />
outside shops and a hairdresser<br />
in Robert St Lincoln have been<br />
removed.<br />
The signs painted in as a<br />
response to tow away and<br />
clamping signs put in by the<br />
Black Door Bar and Eatery on<br />
car parks on the other side of<br />
the street in June.<br />
It was a tit-for-tat type of<br />
move as on street car parking in<br />
expanding Lincoln becomes a<br />
premium.<br />
The Black Door removed the<br />
tow away and clamping signs after<br />
the district council ruled the<br />
12 car parks outside its premises<br />
were not for their exclusive use.<br />
The same applies to the car<br />
parks at 5 Robert St, the district<br />
council says.<br />
The car parks in Robert St<br />
have 120min restricted parking.<br />
