Craig Little: Wairoa Mayor calls for apology from Hawke's Bay Regional Council following flood damage
Manage episode 426694217 series 2098282
Wairoa's Mayor is demanding an apology from the Hawke's Bay Regional Council after last week's flooding.
The bill is expected to top $40 million, with more than 100 properties significantly damaged.
The district is still recovering from Cyclone Gabrielle last year, and ratepayers are already facing a 20 percent rates rise.
Mayor Craig Little says the council hasn't been able to pinpoint what went wrong.
"They treat us like we're a small population, yet we're 30 percent of the land area of Hawke's Bay, 60 percent of the water mass - they do other things down there and they don't do it here."
