## Questions, answered briefly

**What is this?**

A plaque of Christchurch, standing at Idris Reserve in [Fendalton](https://www.chch.live/fendalton), one record on the council’s plaque register for the public estate.

**What does it say?**

The surveyor filed a note, not the words themselves, “Illegible weathered metal tag; handwriting not readable”. The plaque still earns its page: it stands, the ground is named, and the record’s pin is real.

**Is the plaque still standing?**

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.
