Does Christchurch have enough public toilets, and is it easy enough to get around?
Hi neighbours, despite billions of dollars being spent and years of rebuilding since the earthquakes, some experts say the structure of the city could still better serve people’s wellbeing.
Public health doctor Anna Stevenson believes one of the main problems is accessibility.
“If you want to get from one part of the city to the other part, if you’re a fully able-bodied person with courage and the wind behind you, you can usually manage," she says. "But if you have a pushchair and have small children or a wheelchair … you would actually find it very difficult to navigate the city safely.”
Public toilets and water fountains are scarce too, she claims.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
