Around the motu: Simon Wilson in Auckland

Simon talks to Kathryn about a range of issues affecting Tamaki Makaurau, including the effect of wild weather on parts of the city prone to flooding and the effect on public transport. The Auckland Council has discussed managed retreat and other flood matters behind closed door. Aside from the main issue, Simon says the decision not to pay property owners also pointed to something about how council is making decisions Also the Supreme Court has rejected supermarket appeals against an Auckland Council policy to ban off-licence sales of alcohol after 9pm. The policy will also limit the number and location of bottle stores.
