28/03/2011 Population Dropping In Christchurch

Why are people from Christchurch moving so far away when, they could just stay closer to Christchurch like, Nelson, Greymouth, Westport, and Blenheim. If they stayed closer to Christchurch, it wouldn’t cost them so much money, for travel. Plus Christchurch is such a pretty place, for the young and old to enjoy and relax in, even with the damage of the earthquake.

People have been moving to places like Auckland, Tauranga and Invercargill. More than 300 people from rest homes and many families have been evacuated from Christchurch. In my opinion I believe that they should have the choice to move closer, to their home town because thats where their family and friends might be and they are familiar with the surroundings.

They have to demolish alot of the buildings because they are not stable and safe enough for people, to work in or live in. So there is alot of people that have lost their possessions and and lost their jobs. Which is causing alot of concerns for the people of christchurch because they don’t have any extra money to buy new things, or even just to live a normal life. I think this would be very frightening and upsetting because you wouldn’t have a home and you might have lost some thing that you loved. But when they rebuild all the buildings, they will be alot stronger and safer, which will be good but its going to take a long time, before this does happen.

If everybody leaves Christchurch, the population will decrease quite alot. Then nobody will want to visit or stay in Christchurch and Christchurch will no longer be a big city where tourist like to visit. Some people have decide to leave Christchurch permanently. There are as many as 15,ooo people estimated that will leave Christchurch in the next 12 months. So that is 4 percent of the city population, which is quite alot.

The response and the attitude of the Government is very important to the people living in Christchurch and the future population. By Dylan Weir Room 29
