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.
