There's yet another poor survey result from Christchurch residents.

The Christchurch City Council now has a 43% satisfaction rating, up 1 percentage point on last year. In 2007 the figure was 79%, in 2019 it was 62%.

David says that's on top of a terrible staff survey, with morale "very low", with many taking aim at the city council's leadership team.

Continuing with the disatisfaction theme, David will talk about the fed-up residents in the city's east who've put up with an horrendous stench after the fire of the city's wastewater treatment plant in 2021.

Less prominent, , is the stench of compost from the organics processing plant, council-owned Living Earth. composting facility smell has to be reined in.
