Hi Canterbury,

How's your community doing after the floods? Are you satisfied with the emergency response?

It's been over a week since 400% of the monthly average rainfall caused flooding in Canterbury, with multiple districts plunged into a state of emergency.

River engineers are working across the region, with sites being strengthened by machinery. Environment Canterbury Rivers manager, Leigh Griffiths, says that teams are continuing to monitor rainfall and river levels across the region.

"We're working closely with Civil Defence and the MetService to monitor the situation and will be posting rainfall and river flow updates on our website as the situation develops. We suggest that people avoid rivers and check the road conditions before travelling," he said.

The weather event triggered a state of emergency, hundreds of evacuations, and closed roads and bridges throughout the region. The red heavy rain warning was issued on Saturday night, the second since the warning's inception.

Hey neighbours,

Christchurch residents are upset at the state of the city’s roads and chlorine in the water as the council’s approval rating hits a 14-year low.

Just 49 per cent of people are satisfied with services provided by the city council, according to the organisation’s annual residents survey.

The figure is marginally worse than the 50 per cent reported last year, but is way down from the 62 per cent in 2019 and 79 per cent in 2007 when the question was first asked.

'Soft and slumping' Ashburton bridge closed on SH1 after extreme wet weather

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Flood-hit Ashburton Bridge on SH1 has now closed and there is currently no alternate route south with other road options also closed.

Flood-hit Ashburton Bridge on SH1 has now closed and there is currently no alternate route south with other road options also closed.

Ashburton Mayor Neil Brown said the water in the Ashburton River had got into the piles of the bridge, causing a subsidence in the piles.

“The bridge has dropped and you can visually see one section of the bridge is dropped about four to six inches."

Engineers would assess the bridge to see what was required to fix it.

The bridge closure had divided the town into town and cut off part of the South Island. Staff were working hard to open one route by Tuesday night to get south of Ashburton.

FINDING THE ANSWER

I have lived in New Zealand for the last twelve years, after being born and raised in Somerset, England. My parents ran a playgroup in our house for much of my childhood and I made close friends there, but I still felt isolated and different to everyone else.

I always loved food. We were able to help ourselves from the cupboards at home when I was young, with no restrictions. I believe a normal eater would just eat until they were full, but I could not stop. I put extra food in Mum's shopping basket and would gorge on leftovers at night with my friends. My friend’s dad owned a pub and when the half-eaten plates came back, I would pick chips off them, chatting as I did so, to my friends' astonished faces.

From as far back as I can remember, I felt irritated and impatient with people. I would interrupt and correct the teachers at school and have furious rows with my family, then later tell them I loved them. I lived in a fantasy world. My favourite times at school would be writing stories and acting. My emotions were a rollercoaster, up and down. Food made me feel better, soothing all the anxiety. I never realised how dependent I was on food, until it got much worse.
