Problems with buildings revealed in Palmerston North

Mass defective earthquake design of buildings in Palmerston North has been revealed in the face of official resistance. The city council has known for 18 months that two thirds of the buildings it's looked into are, or probably are, deficient, but tried to block releasing the investigation to RNZ. It's now had to declare seven of the buildings, all of them between 8 and 14 years old, as earthquake-prone. Phil Pennington is looking into this.
