A popular Auckland walkway has been partially closed following a spat between some property owners and the council.
The dispute is centred around a around a seaside cottage with heritage status, with the owners requesting the status be removed.
The cottage used to belong to Kiwi artist and photographer Clifton Firth.
Their lawyer, Alex Witten-Hannah, says the owners want to knock the 'derelict' cottage down, but Auckland Council hasn't moved.
"We need assurance from the council that they are taking all appropriate steps in a timely way to lift the heritage listing."
