Quake work on Rangiora police station to take up to eight weeks
A North Canterbury police station will be closed for up to eight weeks for earthquake strengthening.
The Rangiora station was closed last week after concerns were raised during a recent refurbishment.
Canterbury rural area prevention manager Detective Senior Sergeant Greg Cottam said there was no risk to the public, but the work would take longer than first thought.
It was initially hoped the work would be completed within a week, but it was now expected to take six to eight weeks to finish.
Frontline officers were still working 24 hours a day as normal, he said.
"We would like to thank the public for their patience during this temporary closure."
Anyone who needs to visit police in person can visit the Kaiapoi station.
Alternatively, the public can call 105 or go online for non-emergency situations.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
