Pothole
Reported Tuesday, 17 February 2026 at 10:21 pm, 240–278 Shands Rd, Canterbury, Christchurch 8042, New Zealand.
The reporter’s words
When driving on Shands Road at around 9:00 pm, my car struck a large pothole near Watties, which resulted in a flat tyre and likely damage to the wheel. The vehicle will be towed this evening, and a full damage assessment will be carried out early tomorrow. I strongly recommend that this pothole be repaired as soon as possible due to the serious safety risk. I will be in touch to discuss the associated repair once the assessment is complete.
