Review into Point Howard slip uncovers poor communication

From Morning Report, 8:20 am on 6 April 2023

A review into a major slip at Point Howard in Lower Hutt has found poor communication between agencies meant a damaging water leak was ignored.

Ten homes were evacuated and many more had power, water and gas cut by the slip which also closed off access to the area in March. 

Hutt City mayor Campbell Barry was at a meeting with residents on Wednesday night talking through the report.

He spoke to Corin Dann.
