# Overgrown Vegetation, 4 Freeville Pl, Canterbury, Christchurch 8083, New Zealand

Christchurch · filed 23 October 2025 · report 7085525
https://www.chch.live/report/7085525

> The rain gardens and plantings located on the council-managed sections of Freeville Place and Sandy Avenue are severely overgrown, smothering the native, intentionally planted trees and shrubs. The plants are also spilling into the path and road, affecting drainage and accessibility. Are these beds due for maintenance anytime soon? I would be happy to organise a working bee amongst residents but the waste would need disposal and it is council land.
