Rangiora police based 12km out of town while base's future undecided
North Canterbury’s largest town has been without a publicly-accessible police station for more than two months after safety concerns closed two front counters.
In September 2019, the Rangiora station closed suddenly for “urgent seismic remedial work” after concerns were raised about the building during refurbishment work.
The work was only expected to take about one week, but the timeframe was pushed out to six to eight weeks. The closest station is now 12km away.
Do you think 12km is close enough for a local police station?

Poll: What should happen to the cathedral?
In August, restoration of the Christ Church Cathedral was put on hold. Church leaders have no idea when work might restart.
Last year, the Government declined to provide further funding beyond $25 million, and the church, who had raised $24m in donations and contributed $49m including insurance, said further public support will be required to find the revenue required.
What do you think the next steps should be for the cathedral?
