Helen Lash: Westland mayor on the West Coast's recovery after record-breaking rain deluge
from The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin · host Newstalk ZB
Clean ups are underway as the West Coast recovers from a deluge of rain. Franz Josef experienced its wettest 24 hours in more than four decades - prompting a state of an emergency for southern Westland. State Highway 6 from Fox Glacier to Haast has been damaged by slips and flooding - it's closed until at least Monday. Westland mayor Helen Lash says the road is currently not passable. "The road has slumped, it's got cracks in it - and we're not prepared to take any risk with putting anybody on that part of the road." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
