All 21 affected Bella Vista homes deemed shoddy will be purchased by council, homeowners have heard.

The decision came after an emotionally charged day of debating by Tauranga City Council members where affected homeowners laid bare the emotional turmoil they have been left in.

Councillors heard how child adoption plans were put on hold, children and families have been sick from stress, marriages had ended, engagements had been ruined and many were taking sleeping pills just to rest at night.
