Wetlands Grove in the suburb of Bexley Red Zone, Christchurch

Wetlands Grove in Bexley Red Zone and nothing on library website. I couldn’t find out much information about this street and the houses that were here possibly had been built in the 1990s. There were a couple of articles online about the earthquakes. The street runs off Anzac Drive and it isn’t blocked off so I was able to drive along it and park up. I parked near the entrance to Harold Henry Park. At the end of the street there was a walkway that led to the walkway that follows the river. All the houses have been demolished here but I couldn’t get over how many campervans were parked up on the street. They were everywhere. I think that the name of the street is a big clue as to why the land was so badly damaged in the earthquakes.
