The brakes have gone on a social housing development on Auckland's North Shore following complaints it could change the character of the neighbourhood.
That's despite thousands of desperate families in the city on the wait list for a home. Kāinga Ora was going to build 37 homes and a community room on Bonair Crescent in Millwater but has now suspended its plan.
More than 2,000 people have signed a petition to Parliament asking for the development to be stopped because of concerns for the safety and security of the community.
Kāinga Ora regional director North and West Taina Jones talks to Lisa Owen.
