Survey

Chris from Burnside

Hi all, could you please pass this on to friends, families, school contacts, etc. so that we can better know the needs of our community. Also please do the survey yourselves 😊


Sarah Wylie, a social researcher is currently undertaking research on Burnside and the surrounding area for two local churches, Burnside Campus - Christchurch Elim (Grahams Rd) and St Timothy's (Kendal Ave). We are keen to better understand our community and its strengths, challenges, and needs, to help us tailor the activities and supports we collectively offer, complementing the great things already happening locally.

if you live in this area, it would be awesome to hear from you via this survey. It will take a few minutes and it won't identify you - what you say is anonymous.
The survey will be online until 29 August 2022.

Gang presence this weekend

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

International members of the Mongols MC are expected in Canterbury for an event marking five years since the gang established itself in New Zealand.

What you need to know:
-The gang has three chapters in the South Island. Wainoni-based Ōtautahi East, Ashburton-based Mid-South and SH1, Burnham.
- Police say they will have ‘considerable resource’ in the region during the event from November 7-10.
- Police in Canterbury have planned a major operation around the event - thought to coincide with a national meeting - from November 7 to 10, and have drafted in staff from two other districts to help.
- Mongols members from across the country are expected to meet at the gang’s original South Island headquarters - a fortified property on SH1, Burnham, on the outskirts of Christchurch.
- Canterbury district commander Superintendent Tony Hill says:
“We’re prepared for multiple contingencies. We will be monitoring their behaviour very closely over the period, if they’re not behaving appropriately then we will be taking appropriate action quite swiftly.”
