Rangiora police based 12km out of town while base's future undecided
North Canterbury’s largest town has been without a publicly-accessible police station for more than two months after safety concerns closed two front counters.
In September 2019, the Rangiora station closed suddenly for “urgent seismic remedial work” after concerns were raised about the building during refurbishment work.
The work was only expected to take about one week, but the timeframe was pushed out to six to eight weeks. The closest station is now 12km away.
