Suburban Christchurch residents say they'll be disadvantaged by a Northern Motorway traffic change that saves a few minutes' driving for North Canterbury commuters.

St Albans and Mairehau residents have joined local businesses in opposing proposed changes that would channell traffic to and from the $240 million motorway past their doors when it opens in 2020.

Locals, including Christchurch Central MP Duncan Webb, have made submissions and more than 100 others have launched a petition asking the Christchurch City Council to rethink how to link the motorway to the central city.

"Why are Christchurch residents having to be disadvantaged by traffic from North Canterbury being forced down our roads?," the petition asks.

"These are people from a different district that don't pay rates here, but the residents and business in St Albans, Mairehau and Edgeware are paying the costs socially and financially to accommodate these people so they can get to or from the city a few minutes faster."

The Christchurch City Council planned to upgrade 102 wells within a year, then dechlorinate the city's water supply – but there are questions over whether any have yet been repaired to the standards required.

Councillors voted in January to chlorinate the city's water supply after experts warned of there was a low risk of contamination. The council authorised chlorination for up to 12 months while the work was done.

Work on at least 19 was meant to have been finished by now, but the city council has indicated that none have been completed yet.
