Summary
With elections just two months away, Christchurch’s MPs are hitting the campaign trail — but what have they actually delivered? Hamish Campbell in Ilam pushed for fairer tax on backdated ACC payments and secured classroom upgrades and solar panels. Duncan Webb, retiring after nine years, focused on slowing government homelessness moves and noted the cathedral issue is Anglican, not political. Reuben Davidson championed a $38.5M bridge rebuild and Aranui bus service, but his calls for more homeless support went unheard. Megan Woods reversed funding cuts for a community-driven Brougham Street upgrade, though she admits she can’t help everyone. Vanessa Weenink kept speed limits at 60km/h between Little River and Akaroa — defying national trends — and backed new bilingual schools. Nicola Grigg spotlighted school expansions and RMA reform across Selwyn. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
