How has Christchurch changed for you since the Sept 4, 2010 earthquake?

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Happy Friday Cantabs,

Today marks the 10-year anniversary of the September 4, 2010 earthquake. A decade on, what are some of the biggest changes to Christchurch since then?

Our photographers returned to the sites of some of the worst damage wreaked by the magnitude 7.1 earthquake five years ago. They returned again this year – 10 years since the quake struck – to see how much the sites have changed.

What's changed most for you? Give us your thoughts below.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
