Craig Little: Wairoa mayor 'vindicated by report into East Coast flooding

Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The Government's recent report into the East Coast floods concludes action is urgently needed.

The review in part points the finger at the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council and the Wairoa District Councils for poor management of the river mouth and bar.

Wairoa mayor Craig Little is relieved with this report - and claims the bar should be cleared more often.

"No one's rung me from the regional council or anything - except to say that they're going to have a recce in Wairoa on the Friday."
