Central city stayaways

Shannon Beynon Reporter from Christchurch Mail

Have you been into the central city since the earthquakes?

Have you been into the central city since the earthquakes?
Our discussion about busses a couple of weeks ago prompted an interesting email from someone who revealed she hasn't been into the CBD since the earthquakes. I don't think she's alone, but I'd be interested to know how many people are in the same boat.
Have you stayed away from the central city, either deliberately or because the transport isn't there? Why? Do you know someone who has chosen or hasn't been able to visit?
Please comment below (include NFP in your comments if you don't wish them to appear in print) or email me if you're happy for a reporter to give you a call to discuss. Thanks! Shannon.

As for the innocent animals that have had their water supply altered by human intervention & shelter belts removed (aka inhumanity), I hope they survive... :(
