Aucklanders whose homes are uninhabitable due to the summer storms say they're relieved with the rates relief agreed by Auckland Council yesterday.
Hundreds of homes have been red and yellow-stickered, with residents paying rent and also meeting the bills on homes they can't live in.
In the beach settlement of Muriwai, about 140 homes are affected - owners met last night to discuss the rates relief.
Chair of the Muriwai Stickered Residents Group Mike Hibbert spoke to Charlotte Cook.
