Chris Hipkins
Spokesperson for Christchurch Education

As the Labour Leader, I'm always keen to hear your views.

Having worked in Iraq rebuilding schools, hospitals and communities, I know how important it is to involve those who are directly affected.

That's why I'd like to know how you feel the recovery in Christchurch is going two years after the first earthquake.

Below is a survey. I'd be grateful if you could spare a few moments to complete it.

If you need any help or information, please feel free to contact one of your local Labour MPs; their details are on the right.

Warm regards,

David Shearer
Leader of the Labour Party

Education

The Government has announced proposals to close 13 schools and merge a further 18. We all expect change but this has been devastating news for many. These schools have been a source of strength and stability for communities.

Do you generally support the Government's decision to close 13 schools and merge a further 18 schools?:

Yes

Do you think the schools and local communities should have been consulted about the proposals before they were announced?:

Yes

Do you think people in the hardest hit areas should have more time before decisions about schools are made?:

Yes

Do you believe the Government is committed to a genuine consultation process?:

Yes

On a scale of 1-5, 1 being 'very poor' and 5 being 'very well', how well has the Government performed in relation to the proposals to close and merge schools?:

Recovery

Everyone agrees the scale of the recovery is huge, but many say the Government's approach has been too top-down in some areas while they haven't done enough to sort out EQC and insurers.

Do you think the Government has focused enough attention on residential areas of the city?:

Yes

Do you think the Government should consult more with communities about the recovery?:

Yes

Do you agree with the Government's blueprint for the CBD, including the anchor projects?:

Yes

Do you think more could be done to support heritage buildings?:

Yes

Do you support selling Christchurch City Council assets (e.g. the airport) to pay for the recovery?:

Yes

Should the Government be doing more to train Kiwis so they have the skills needed to be at the forefront of the rebuild effort?:

Yes

What do you think is the biggest issue facing the Christchurch Recovery?:
