Damaged Street Sign
Reported Thursday, 4 September 2025 at 7:31 pm, Stapletons Rd & Averill St, Richmond, Christchurch 8013, New Zealand.
The reporter’s words
Street signs at corner of Averill Street & Stapletons Road have been repeatedly targeted on this low pole, incorrect directions change & or one or both signs wrenched off their hinges to the pole in an attempt to rip the signs off completely. This has been an almost daily occurrence the last few years. An out of town visitor couldn't find my house for 15mins due to this street sign vandalism. Could a permanent solution be made, suggest moving signs to high pole across the street per 2nd photo
