2. Christchurch residents are sick of living with
flooding, vermin and health issues.
Kiri Howlett said her street had flooded about
four times since Christmas pushing water that
had sewage under her house.
3. The repeated flooding
had caused mould to
grow throughout her
home, and her young
family to suffer health
problems.
''There's definitely a lot of
angry people,‘ she said.
4. .''
Howlett and
about 30 other
frustrated
residents met
yesterday
afternoon to tell
of their concerns
over the
lack of progress.
5. ''These people
shouldn't have to
suffer having
properties under
water, nor should
they have to put
up with
not being able to
use their toilet
every time it rains.
This has been
going on for 3
years now.
6. Workers were already working to repair and improve broken drains and pipes
where possible, but this has now been put on hold until the Government gives
its approval.
