Tauranga City council says residents had to move from the Mangatawa Marae and Papakainga housing. The slip is near a watermain and there's concern that the pipe could break if the land moves anymore. Blance McMath is chair of the Mangatawa Papamoa Blocks that owns the Papakainga housing, and spoke to Lisa Owen.
