I installed the fix my street app for iOS but it doesn’t seem to work 🙁 it would be a handy thing.

In reply to nick. Thanks Nick! It's almost as good as when they stopped sealing before xmas :

After reading your post, I used FIXmystreet, knowing that it would go to the City and asking them to ask NZTA as well. PLus I emailed NZTA again. The same day I got a call from NZTA contractors asking about the issue and the next day after that contractors were on site preparing the path for sealing!

In reply to nick. Nick, I'm not even sure who's ultimately responsible for this pathway, seeing as the City Council paid for it (but presumably it's part of the NZTA motorway contract). We've raised this issue with CCC as well and I can't believe it's dragged on this long either.

Great post. I particularly like the idea of a Fixmystreet app where I can send off info immediately.
Sometimes I wonder if its the case of the squeaky wheel getting the desired response. I ‘squeaked’ to NZTA about the offroad cycle way along the christchurch southern motorway. Great resource but the section between Barrington Street and Wrights road is in gravel. I queried this to NZTA and they confirmed it would be done (subject to weather) but so far has not been. Anyone else who uses this, please contact NZTA, and hopefully they’ll get onto it sooner rather than later.
