Kia ora neighbours, a family who lost all their belongings to the devastating January floods have said they’re sceptical changes will be made following the release of a review into Auckland Council’s response.

The findings of the independent review were released on Wednesday and found the council was “not prepared for an event of the magnitude and speed” of the floods.
