Manurewa-Papakura Ward councillors disagree about Auckland cycleway plan

From Morning Report, 7:41 am on 6 May 2022

Auckland Council has endorsed the business case for a $306 million dollar plan to construct cycleways in the city.

It means construction will now be sped up, but the topic is still proving divisive, with 13 councillors in favour of the plan, three against and seven abstaining.

Among those at odds were the two Manurewa-Papakura Ward councillors, Angela Dalton and Daniel Newman - she was for and he against.

They spoke to Susie Ferguson.
