By - Northern AdvocateIt could be two or three weeks before anything can be done about a section of road on the Tutukaka Coast that dropped a metre when the waterlogged land under it gave way. Permanent residents who choose to stay have arranged for cars to be parked on the town side of the slump. Some residents have moved out temporarily and several houses are holiday homes which were empty at the time. One unoccupied house sitting below the road and the wedge of land that has moved under it has been condemned. Work on several house constructions along the road will be held up while the road is out of action.
