A video of an interview with Linda Stewart, Chairperson of the Burwood-Pegasus Community Board, about how the 2010 and 2011 Canterbury earthquakes have affected the facilities in her ward. Stewart talks about the loss of recreational reserves such as QEII Park, and the likelihood that residents will leave the area if they cannot teach their children to swim. She also talks about the repair process, and the need for community meeting places.
