Suspicious fire blocked entry to Canterbury township
Concerns about emergency access to a large Canterbury township have been raised after fire blocked the main entry for about two hours.
More than 2500 residents live in Pegasus – a standalone township off State Highway 1 near Woodend in North Canterbury – but they were blocked from entering or leaving as firefighters battled a suspicious blaze at the highway intersection on Wednesday evening.
An emergency exit road that opened eventually was described by emergency services staff as "not ideal".
Do you think changes need to be made to Pegasus' emergency access road? Are you concerned, or not bothered, by the fact Pegasus only has one official way in and out?

Went to New World Christmas Eve brought some groceries and as I went to pay a
very kind Lady behind me in the queue reached out and paid for my purchase.
The world still has some wonderful people in it even in these troubled times.
