CERA finally committed to clearing a path for our campus and we are officially moving forward. It is a damn shame it took this much public pressure to force them to do their jobs but we won. We are back on track and I expect them to follow through on …

To You Okay so here is the story, The Christchurch Natcoll Design Technology Campus is just inside the CBD Red Zone. After talking to business owners in the campus area about their demolition dates we were told that we would be able to start our courses in July (three months away from our original start date) although this was hard for us to take in we understood that time was needed to clear the city and make it safe, so we accepted this news and made plans to last us till then (and finding a job in Chch is not easy at all at the moment) Now two months on we were excited for we only had one more month to wait. We then get the news that due to the area not being cleared and the lack of progress, the start date has now moved to October.... at this point I personally broke down into tears, another four months is too long for all the Natcoll staff and students to wait for our lives to start again. So this is where i need your help, if you agree that the Natcoll area should be made a priority for CERA to clear buildings in the vicinity so we will be able to get back into the building on time or earlier, (which would be even better) please sign our petition. Thank you

The momentum we have built shows that CERA cannot ignore the students and staff waiting for answers any longer. Officials need to stop dragging their feet and prioritize clearing our campus so we can finally move forward with our lives.

How are these kids supposed to pay rent if they cant start their courses? Chch is hard enough right now without this rubbish.

SO frustrating. My niece is stuck waiting and it isnt fair to keep moving the goalposts like this.

This is just ridiculous. People are trying to move forward with their lives and this keeps shifting. Let these students get back to learning!

Fix the access issues. Christchurch needs its schools back open.

Get it done CERA. October is way too far away. The CBD is a ghost town and needs actual people back in it.
