Planted on the Site of the Former Waimairi District Council
A plaque at Jeffreys Reserve, standing in Fendalton. The words below are the register’s own transcription, the casing, the spelling, the typos.
Planted on the site of the former Waimairi District Council Works Yard in recognition of the late Lois Herdman. Supported by the Fendalton Waimairi Community Board, Lois was instrumental in retaining this area as a Public Reserve. The creation of Jeffreys Park was formally adoped by the Christchurch City Council on 28 July 1994.

A plaque of Christchurch, standing at Jeffreys Reserve in Fendalton, one record on the council’s plaque register for the public estate.
The words above, verbatim, the surveyor’s transcription, casing, spelling and typos as they were read off the stone plinth. The register does not say who the name belonged to; the dedication is the whole of the record.
2 plaques on the register share this ground, the others are linked above.
The register marks it in service, commissioned 2003. The books' word, though, a plaque may have weathered since the survey, and the pin is the record’s position.
The record behind this
Christchurch City Council’s open data, the Furniture service’s Plaque layer. The inscription is the surveyor’s transcription; "In Service" is the books, not a promise the plaque still reads clean today. The pin is the record’s position on the layer.
