Kairaki village

Kairaki village

Many streets, avenues, neighbourhoods and suburbs will be lost to Christchurch when the bulldozers do their work in the red zones.

But north of the city one entire village has been earmarked for eradication.

It's the settlement of Kairaki beach, east of Kaiapoi.

Residents had been told their land and buildings could be repaired. Some even had house plans drawn up last month.

They were stunned when it turned red last week. Stunned, shocked, and outraged.

Megryan, that is what insurance is for. The government nor EQC pay for contents. The residents of this village need to grow up. If they want to stay there no insurance company will insure their property, EQC will no longer cover it because of that, and no council will fix any councils assets running to their properties. To say they will spill blood shows what immature little men they are.

Thanks Campbell live for helping support Christchurch. Your programme seems to focus on businesses and home owners and Its great that the government has offered the pay off for Home owners. Just wondering what happens to non home owners that lost all their personal possessions in red stickered properties they rented.What kind of support is there to help them get back on their feet , relocate, replace the possessions they lost. Are there people that have been just starting out and thrown in the mud by the quake ?
