Poll: Are you affected by flooding on roads in Christchurch's east?
New Brighton residents are fed up at negotiating flooded roads almost 10 years after the earthquakes devastated the area.
Christchurch City Council says until some money can be found to replace the infrastructure, there is no easy way to prevent the flooding.
New Brighton Rd and other streets close to the Avon River flood even when it hasn’t been raining. All it takes is a fairly decent high tide before water is forced back up through stormwater pipes originally designed to drain water away.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
