According to Westport residents the AA insurance announcement yesterday is not the start of their troubles at all.

They've been having trouble with insurance for ages even before AA decided to stop issuing new cover.

Westport resident Glenys Elley told Heather du Plessis-Allan that, "Even if a company has a policy, it doesn't guarantee that they will continue that policy on."

She says that some people were fine with the application process for insurance until they entered their postcode, at which point the application was denied.
