Poll: Should the Christchurch City Council ditch the Wheels to Wings cycleway design and start again?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

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.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
