Contractors ride roughshod over Christchurch widow's driveway, then take down her fence
The sign at the driveway entrance reads “no parking, private property”.
That has not stopped contractors using it as a parking spot while they build units next door.
Carole Anderton, a former Christchurch City Councillor and wife of the late Jim Anderton, lives at the end of that driveway.
She understood the need for more housing, but the work has been going on for about a month. The contractors, without asking, took down part of her tin fence, putting temporary fencing in its place.
