Statement - Christchurch viewpoint

The council is very aware of the impact that the unauthorised encampment at Christchurch viewpoint had both on the local community and in particular Wilson and Bay Coffee Club.

We have been providing support and assistance to the owner of Wilson and Bay and will continue to do so throughout this difficult period.

In cases like this, there are extensive legal processes that the council, working with police and other partners must follow. The timescales of these processes are beyond our control, and we cannot comment on them while they are ongoing.

However, we would like to reassure the local community that we took all of the necessary steps we had to take to bring this disruption to a conclusion.

Our cleansing teams have attended the car park this morning to clean the site, and we will be reopening the site shortly.
