Frustrated Muriwai residents are left without answers about when they can go back to their red-stickered homes, after a town-meeting with Auckland council last night. 

More than a hundred houses in the West Auckland beach community have been categorised as too dangerous to live in after Cyclone Gabrielle either damaged them, or rendered the land they stand on too unstable. 

The council is promising to keep them updated, but says it doesn't know when the land will stop moving. 

Kat and Andy Corbett are red-stickered Muriwai residents, currently living in temporary rental accommodation.

Kat Corbett was at the meeting and speaks with Kathryn Ryan.
