Christchurch City Council Media Advisory – Tuesday 7 September 1am

7 September 2010

Plans to reduce the cordon in inner-city Christchurch at 8am this morning (Tuesday 7 September) have been revised, following a series of aftershocks just before midnight.

At 10pm, it was advised that the cordon would be further reduced at 8am today to an area bounded by Hereford St, St Asaph Street, Colombo St and Madras St.

However, this has now been revised to due to concerns about the safety of a damaged multi-storey building in Hereford St.

From 8am this morning, the cordoned area will cover the area bounded by:

  • Worcester St
  • St Asaph St
  • Colombo St
  • Madras St

For further information, please refer to the Christchurch City Council website www.ccc.govt.nz, email or call (03) 941 8999 .

Media inquiries should be directed to (03) 941 7373 or 027 241 0244 .
