    An Auckland woman's reported a suspicious visitor claiming to be conducting a storm damage survey

    An Auckland woman's reported a suspicious visitor claiming to be conducting a storm damage survey


    Since this weekend's downpours and flooding, Auckland Council Building inspectors have visited 16 homes and plan to visit around 50 more.

    The Beach Haven resident said on Facebook that a young woman came to her house doing an Auckland Council survey about storm damage.

    However she didn't have a council ID and didn't visit any other houses.

    An Auckland Council spokesperson's confirmed no staff are doing house-to-house checks.

    All staff will be in uniform, drive a council-branded vehicle and carry a council ID card.
