Govt confirms facelift for Christchurch's Brougham Street

The government has done a U-turn on Christchurch's Brougham Street upgrade, today confirming it will give the busy Road of Regional Significance a facelift after all. The brakes were put on the 90 million-dollar plan to improve State Highway 76 last year, when the coalition ditched funding for the 8-point-7 billion dollar New Zealand Upgrade Programme it was part of. But, as Delphine Herbert reports, the local community didn't take that decision lying down.
