Survey suggests central city safety on the rise
Christchurch people are giving their City Council a nod of approval for
policies aimed at making the city centre a better place to work and visit. This
year’s residents’ survey shows a strong rise in the proportion of people who
say they feel safe at night in the inner-city. Done in late March, the surveyors
talked to 780 Christchurch people. Among new questions in this year’s survey
was one asking what people think of the Chalice sculpture in Cathedral
Square. More than 80 per cent of those surveyed say they’ve been to see it.
Of those, about a third think it improves the area, while 18% say it has not
made it better. |
