A recent Deputation meeting with the Christchurch City Council, Papanui-Innes Community Board
On Friday 25th February (2017) this organisation lodged a special presentation to the above listed Community Board. 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...
