# Overgrown Vegetation, 20 Waterford Avenue, Northwood, Christchurch 8051, New Zealand

Northwood, Christchurch · filed 17 November 2025 · report 7226735

> Approx 3 years ago the council spent thousands of dollars clearing out the reeds from the lake at the Waterford Reserve. The contractor told me that this would be kept up to date by the workers. As you can see by the first 3 photos that the reeds are now getting out of control again. The 4th photo is on the area called the beach, the weeds desperately need spraying. My husband and I regularly try and keep this area tidy, but as I said it's getting out of control. Thank you
