A temporary bridge providing access to a cyclone-hit community in the Hastings District has buckled.

Dartmoor's temporary bridge over the Mangaone River has been closed as a safety precaution after a heavy vehicle crossed it causing damage.

Also, Chris has details on Napier's 377 council-owned homes which could be sold off just two years after the Council decided to keep them.

More than 200 people are taking part in the Jolly Good Chaps Napier to Wellington 50cc Scooter Challenge. The scooter riders head from Napier to Wellington tomorrow raising money for mental health. The journey includes heading over the winding Remutaka mountain range.
