Lyttleton locals to vent frustrations over cruise ships

From Morning Report, 8:42 am on 8 August 2023

Lyttleton locals will have a chance to voice their frustrations tonight on how cruise ships are disrupting their community.

Environment Canterbury says when the ships are in port bus services struggle to keep up with the added demand from tourists - especially routes in and out of Lyttelton.

Tourism groups along with the port company and the Cruise Association will come together to hear out residents and pitch some solutions.

Loren Heaphy from the city's council's economic development agency ChristchrchNZ will also be there.

Heaphy spoke to Corin Dann.
