Morgan Allen: West Auckland Is Flooding spokesperson on Auckland Council not compensating disaster-affected property owners - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Frustration in Auckland as the Council rules out compensating homeowners whose properties were devastated earlier this year.

Mayor Wayne Brown released a statement today saying that Auckland Council was 'not a guarantor of private property interests' and weren't responsible for compensating property owners.

West Auckland Is Flooding spokesperson Morgan Allen isn't surprised by this statement, given Auckland Council's financial position/

"But it is frustrating to see that the Council is not more willing to advocate to the Government on behalf of flood-affected people."
