Red zone camp, Burwood, CHCH

[Lilith7]

This lot do seem to have a happy knack of spreading discord wherever they go. Its now autumn; they surely don't intend to remain there through winter - they'll be freezing bits off if they try that.

"Campers occupying the Christchurch red zone have been aggressive towards locals, cutting up trees, defecating in bushes, and lighting fires, say residents who want them gone.

Christchurch City Council staff have been meeting with a group which set up a “freedom village” in the Burwood part of the former residential red zone and have even dropped off portable toilets and a rubbish skip – but are still unclear on what to do next.

The group, which has links to Kyle Chapman – former leader of far-right group NZ National Front – erected tents and towed caravans onto the site between Brooker Ave, Dunair Dr and New Brighton Rd late last week. A Stuff journalist was assaulted near the site this week.Bebe Frayle, the Burwood representative on the Waitai Coastal-Burwood Community Board, said she had spoken to concerned locals.

People had been verbally abused by the campers, she said, and some campers had behaved aggressively towards dog walkers."
