(File photo)A member of the public has laid a code of conduct complaint against Wellington City councillor Laurie Foon after she cut the ribbon on an unauthorised pop-up cycleway in Island Bay. The complaint was emailed to councillors Fleur Fitzsimons and Sean Rush on May 25, demanding Foon’s “illegal activity” be investigated through the council’s code of conduct process. Mayor Andy Foster said on Friday this counted as an official code of conduct complaint and would land with him to determine whether it is investigated. Ross Giblin/Stuff Foon says the pop-up cycleway showed how easily protected cycleways could be constructed.
