Live: Highways flooded, Akaroa underwater as evacuations continue across Canterbury

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Hi neighbours,

Monday is day two of persistent, heavy rain that's caused severe flooding in parts of Canterbury.

Canterbury faces severe floods, evacuations, power cuts and rising rivers, with warnings more rain is on the way.

A state of local emergency has been declared for the whole region of Canterbury following heavy rain and flooding.

Rising river levels forced the urgent evacuation of more than 240 homes in North Canterbury.

The Team from Humans of Christchurch Ōtautahi

“I’m from Tamaki Makaurau. I have a good job with Riverside market. I am security, and we need this area nice and clean. We don't want dirty things everywhere, like rubbish.

I like Christchurch because there's lots of entertainment, lots of people, all loving, give me aroha, tautoko mai. Kia kaha, be strong.”

I've been a hustler for 18 years now. I'm a lover, I'm a hustler. I'm in here to entertain Christchurch, all around Christchurch. I'm a busker and I'm an entertainer.”

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
