Deadline for Aucklanders to register storm-affected homes

Today is the last day for Aucklanders living in storm-affected homes to register for a council assessment of their property. Those properties deemed to need work could be eligible for construction and consenting grants, while those that cause an "intolerable risk to life" will be offered a voluntary buy-out. But with one day to go, only 40 percent of eligible property owners have signed up. Lyall Carter is a spokesperson for West Auckland is Flooding and spoke with Ingrid Hipkiss
