Parts of the Hawke's Bay town of Wairoa are cleaning up after being inundated with heavy rain overnight. 

Local emergency management says up to 80 millimetres fell in the district last night.

The town's mayor Craig Little joins Kathryn to talk about the impact that will have had, but the good news they received yesterday with a funding deadline for silt and debris collection and disposal being extended.
