How would you describe Phillipstown?
The narrative describes a low socio-economic neighbourhood, high in the deprivation index, with high crime rates. We are told that Phillipstown presents a very transient community, ethically diverse and disengaged with decision making mechanisms. Phillipstown is also one of the oldest neighbourhood in Christchurch and, although the earthquakes destroyed a big part of the historic places, the old villas still remaining in the area remind us of the old times. And "Phillipstown has character": despite the challenges, "it's not up itself", there is a sense of community, people are from all walks of life, friendly and supportive, the trees on the streets are awesome, it is close to everything - CBD, hills, beaches - and there is the Hub! (This is a collection of answers from the Survey "What do you think of Phillipstown, April/May 2020) We would like to challenge the narrative that has been circulating so far about Phillipstown and to gain an in-depth understanding of our community and our whanau. The Community Mapping aims at getting a detailed map (of course) of Phillipstown, its assets, strengths, skills, dreams and needs, and will include including businesses, associations, places as well as people. |
Thanks to this "better understanding" of our neighbourhood, we will be able to better serve the needs and the aspirations of the people in our community.
