Poll: Are you affected by flooding on roads in Christchurch's east?

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

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.
