Contractors ride roughshod over Christchurch widow's driveway, then take down her fence

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

That has not stopped contractors using it as a parking spot while they build units next door.

Carole Anderton, a former Christchurch City Councillor and wife of the late Jim Anderton, lives at the end of that driveway.

She understood the need for more housing, but the work has been going on for about a month. The contractors, without asking, took down part of her tin fence, putting temporary fencing in its place.

He wanted to put me in the draw to win a free room shampoo. On friday I received a call from "Pioneer" saying we had won that free room clean, booked us in for the following Friday. Thursday night we cleared out our living room. When they arrived they had Kirby vacuum cleaners and it was a demonstration. They wouldn't clean the room because I was not home, just my wife. Mislead the whole way, watch out for these scum. Drives a white Mitsubishi Outlander - rego MTL639
