However this meeting was quite brief as unfortunately only 5 minutes was permitted.
Several quite concerning local community related issues were outlined. These included ongoing cut backs on much needed repairs and regular maintenance to City Council owned infrastructures around the Papanui, Redwood, Casebrook, Northcote, and Northwood areas. (i.e damaged streets, footpaths, unsuitable bus stops, safety concerns on streets, directly adjacent to busy parks and children'wwws playgrounds etc.)
Also discussed was a lack in general understanding and recognition by the Council in the many very important Disability related issues. As sadly the Christchurch City Council hasn't yet developed a competent Disability Strategy. Ironically most NZ Councils completed this task many years ago. (including Waimakariri)
For any further or additional information regarding any aspect of this recent meeting, please don't hesitate to contact our Christchurch office. Contact details are on our website. www.sigjaws.org...

As when walking closeby I was surprised to see all the interior lights suddenly turned on (the second floor) and then a dry powder fire extinguisher being blasted out of an opened window. This gave a clear indication in certain forms of ongoing and distinctly unusual activity. However I then noted the security fence surrounding the new complex currently being built had been forced wide open. When I realised this allowed free access to the rear of this building (which was not even padlocked) I felt quite sure this required immediate and further investigation. The police response was absolutely amazing (very quick) and it appears the offenders (believe two local kids) left in quite a hurry (on a bike and a small kids scooter) and escaped being caught. The police noted the entire upstairs of this building is now completely trashed. A grave concern is the total failure of ensuring the security of this dangerous building for serious safety reasons.
