Public safety risk in Port
Hills
Christchurch City Council has closed areas of the
Port Hills because of the ongoing public safety risk.
The
Council will erect signs today (Sunday) on many popular
walking and mountain-biking tracks in the Port Hills to
advise people of the safety issues and the
closures.
These restricted zones cover all tracks and
open areas in the Port Hills, including Victoria Park and
the Rapaki, Mt Vernon and Huntsbury tracks.
These
restrictions are likely to be in place for several weeks
while fire crews extinguish the fires and deal with all
safety
issues.
