Two Christchurch city councillors are calling for the proposed design of a $19 million cycleway to be scrapped.

But the move is being described as “political grandstanding” by another councillor.

Crs Aaron Keown and Sam MacDonald want the Christchurch City Council to immediately suspend consultation on a portion of the controversial Wheels to Wings cycleway on Harewood Rd, west of Greers Rd.

They want staff to work with the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board and the community to start a fresh process and develop a new design the public can take ownership of. The council will vote on the proposal on Thursday. Read more here.

Ally Swann is determined that health complications won’t keep her from completing her third consecutive The Press Run To Remember next month.

The 36-year-old first took part in the event in 2019 with her golden retriever Minnie, and improved on her time the following year despite enduring long-standing struggles with liver and bowel disease.

This year she comes prepared with a game plan and a goal – to once again beat her previous time in the 10-kilometre walk and run though the Port Hills on February 21, created to honour the lives lost in the Canterbury earthquakes.
