The Wellington City Council has been hearing submissions on its cycleway budget.
The son of a cyclist killed 17 years ago has told the Wellington City Council, on behalf of his father, that the capital needs cycleways and it is a question of ethics.
Matthew Eyre stepped up to the speaker's podium during hearings on the council's annual plan on Tuesday afternoon.
He first thanked the councillors for their work, saying everyone in the city should be grateful for the job they do. He wasn't seeking any specific funding, but was speaking on behalf of his late father, Desmond, with "my grief and my broken heart".
