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: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
