Cycleways to stay despite opposition MAX FRETHEY
Local Democracy Reporter
Despite surveys showing residents are opposed to carparks
being replaced by cycleways on Richmond’s upper Queen St and Champion Rd, the road layouts will remain unchanged for now. The cycleways were installed as
part of the Streets for People programme which aims to quickly and relatively inexpensively alter the roads to cater for active transport options, like walking and
cycling. The programme is funded by Waka Kotahi – the New Zealand Transport Agency. A key aspect of the programme
was the flexibility to modify the changes over time following feedback from residents.

Record Richmond team to take on challenge GORDON PREECE Richmond Volunteer Fire Brigade has its largest team ever for its ongoing tradition in the Big Smoke of Auckland. Eleven of the brigade’s 31 members will race up the second tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere on 18 May to spark funds for a worthy cause. The annual Firefighter Sky Tower Challenge is the optimum challenge for firefighters across Aotearoa to burn through the pain, ascending the 51 flights of the tower’s stairs to fundraise for Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand (LBC). LBC provides essential support for patients and their families, as well as funding research into blood cancer, raising awareness and advocating for patients. The event marks its 20-year climb this year.
