Flooding and slips across Christchurch

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Heavy rain overnight has caused flooding in several areas of Christchurch, including by the Heathcote River and Oxford Tce. Many instances are being reported of cars being water logged especially when parked next to rivers, and people being stuck in their homes due to flooded driveways.

Heavy rain overnight has caused flooding in several areas of Christchurch, including by the Heathcote River and Oxford Tce. Many instances are being reported of cars being water logged especially when parked next to rivers, and people being stuck in their homes due to flooded driveways.

With the already saturated ground and flooding, Christchurch City Council Civil Defence and Emergency Management Manager, Brenden​ Winder, said it was likely there would be more surface flooding and slips in hillside areas.
“Strong easterly winds are forecast to accompany the rain, which may create issues with estuary and river levels, particularly around high tide on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning.”

What you need to know:
- There are multiple road closures in the central city, including parts of Fitzgerald Ave and Cambridge Tce
- Some schools – including Christchurch Girls’ High, Hillmorton High, and St Thomas of Canterbury College – are asking students to work from home as flooding has made it difficult to access classrooms
- Council advises to clear leaves from sumps or drains on your property only if it is safe to do so
- If you come into contact with flood water, treat it as contaminated and wash your hands thoroughly afterwards
- Move cars, valuables and electrical items out of reach of potential flood water.
- In case of high winds, secure umbrellas, BBQs and outdoor furniture.

Council staff and contractors are ready to respond to issues and the council’s contact centre is open around-the-clock for residents who need help. To stay up to date with road closures and council updates, check the Christchurch City Council website.

Is your broadband bill about to increase? Don't throw money away.

Spark have recently announced a price increase of $3 - $5 a month for new and existing broadband customers and other providers seem likely to follow suit.

Information collated by our research team has found that tens of thousands of Kiwis are still missing out on hundreds of dollars of savings each year on their broadband bill, because they are failing to shop around for cheaper broadband plans.

We estimate that over 500,000 households would be able to pay less for their broadband each month but many consumers are unaware of the fact that they could be making these savings and people often don’t know where to start when looking for a change in broadband plan or provider.

This is where NZ Compare can help. Our websites are simple to use and if you need more help, our friendly, Auckland based, customer support centre can advise on the most suitable broadband plan for your needs and help talk you through the switch. With unlimited fibre broadband plans available for less than $60 a month why would you pay more?

Find out more at NZ Compare or call the team on 0508 226672

CORRECTION: This post has been amended to clarify that the price of fibre and copper broadband internet services will increase, and that the increase is between $3 and $5 a month, not only $5 a month on fibre broadband plans as previously posted. (Amended at 10.31am, June 23, 2022)

However even going to Buildercrack and contacting three companies each one who said they would arrange a quote tomorrow, I still have not had one visit to quote, Worse still I have now contacted about 12 companies in and around CH-Ch and cannot even get someone to come and look at the job. It appears that there is so much work on new subdivisions here that no-one is interested in the one off job s. I am really disappointed. It seems we will have to live with a "boxed and base course filled back yard for a long time to come. This is not the Christchurch I yearned to return to. If anyone has any suggestions for this elderly couple we would be very happy to hear them.
