Slips still threaten west coast homes
Auckland Council hopes hundreds of people stickered out of their homes at west coast beaches will soon be able to get in to retrieve belongings.
Spokesperson Herewini Te Koha says it’s still concerned about the stability of land.
“We’re hopeful a council inspection team can head back in there, fingers crossed, be able to allow many of the locals to al least retrieve many of the items they’ve been wanting to go back to their homes to get. That’s something we are optimistic about but we certainly would go forward with great care on that,” he says.
Herewini Te Koha says while the national State of Emergency has been extended until next Monday, the weather forecast for Tamaki Makaurau is good which will help, the clean up.
