Poll: Do you think this is the right decision?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Plans to build up to 60 new state-owned homes in Endeavour Ave in Flagstaff, and another 47 in Melville, have been canned and the land could be sold as the Government continues its “reset” of Kāinga Ora.

Minister of Housing Chris Bishop and Kāinga Ora chief executive Matt Crockett last week announced the state housing provider would ditch plans for 212 state housing projects around the country, cancelling plans for up to 3500 new homes.
