Lydia Price in Puketapu update

From Afternoons, 1:25 pm on 16 February 2023

Earlier this week we spoke to Lydia Price in the small settlement of Puketapu in Hawke's Bay.

It's been severely impacted by water levels from the Ngaruroro River and Tūtaekuri River which rose above homes and damaged much of the agricultural land.

Lydia updates Jesse on how the locals are coping.
