Canterbury Mornings

The Christchurch City Council has voted to spend $2 million “upgrading” Worcester Boulevard making it more “pedestrian and cycle friendly”, spend $4 million upgrading Hereford Street from Manchester Street to the river, spend $3 million on 30k speed limit changes, including new signs and the Council has also voted to upgrade Park Terrace.Councillors Yani Johanson and Deon Swiggs voted against this. Chris Lynch spoke to Yani Johanson, who is asking the question why are we gold plating the city when there are other areas that actually need work.
