Fresh concerns over lack of Chch accommodation

By: Shani Annand-Baron | Latest Christchurch News | Thursday September 6 2012 12:17

 

With big events returning to Christchurch's social calendar there are fresh concerns over the lack of accommodation available.

The earthquakes have seen a loss of nearly 1,100 beds in the city.

Founder of the Look After Me home-stay network, Julia Charity may have a solution.

"We're looking for Christchurch-based homeowners who've got a spare room. It could be that it's a sleepout, or a guest wing, or it could be a room downstairs, or a room upstairs - that's the sort of thing that's working really well."

Ms Charity says it'll also provide security for those visitors worried about what to do in the event of an earthquake.
