Investigation work questioned<br />
in face of possible funding cut<br />
• From page 1<br />
Henstock said the budgets in the<br />
LTP are based on the original costings,<br />
which are now out of date.<br />
“Those figures are misleading.<br />
We have been told that on average<br />
our transport projects have<br />
increased by about 27 per cent<br />
so we can reasonably expect the<br />
W2W project costs to increase<br />
substantially.”<br />
She said many people were<br />
confused about the project’s status,<br />
with media reporting earlier in<br />
the Long Term Plan process that<br />
council staff had proposed the<br />
cycleway be deferred, due to it not<br />
being a priority project.<br />
“The public generally were not<br />
aware the project was back in the<br />
LTP.<br />
“Now they see a CCC <strong>News</strong>line<br />
article and social media post about<br />
investigative works soon to be undertaken.<br />
Residents are now asking<br />
how can this project continue<br />
if funding is not available.’’<br />
Canterbury Charity Hospital<br />
chief executive Carl Shaw said the<br />
hospital board was not looking<br />
forward to seeing the project<br />
continue.<br />
City council city infrastructure<br />
general manager Jane Parfitt said<br />
it is common practice that detailed<br />
investigations are commissioned<br />
in advance of construction, which<br />
will not start until later this year.<br />
PLANNING: Investigations<br />
into potential construction<br />
plans for the Wheels to<br />
Wings cycleway have<br />
started. The investigation will<br />
also look into water system<br />
upgrades on Harewood Rd<br />
and traffic light installation<br />
at the Greers and Langdons<br />
intersection.<br />
When Copenhagen Bakery<br />
owner Donna Thomsen was<br />
approached for a comment by<br />
Norwest <strong>News</strong>, it was the first time<br />
she had heard about the investigations<br />
going ahead and she said she<br />
couldn’t comment further without<br />
having all the facts.<br />
NZ rep<br />
dream<br />
closer for<br />
athletes<br />
• From page 1<br />
“They will get the advantage for<br />
selection, so it really just comes<br />
down to one race.”<br />
The pair represent Selwyn at club<br />
meets and are coached by former<br />
New Zealand Commonwealth<br />
Games representative Angie Petty<br />
and her partner, Briton Sam Petty.<br />
Angie Petty said it would be<br />
‘insane’ if the pair were to qualify<br />
together.<br />
“Of those runners (that have<br />
made the qualifying time), Daniel<br />
is second-fastest and Cooper is<br />
fourth,” she said.<br />
“But Cooper ran his in a local<br />
event while all the rest were in<br />
big meets like (the Sir Graham<br />
Douglas International in Auckland<br />
last weekend).<br />
“It’s easier to run faster in those<br />
big meets with other runners<br />
around you and I know Cooper’s<br />
got more in him.”<br />
Wightman said the prospect was<br />
exciting.<br />
“It’s just down to one simple race,<br />
who comes out better on that day.<br />
“I quite like that instead of<br />
having points and stuff where you<br />
have to worry about all the races<br />
you’re running.”<br />
