Simeon Brown: Transport Minister on the Government's new National Land Transport Plan
Manage episode 437593479 series 2882353
The Transport Minister says today's National Land Transport Plan shouldn't surprise councils.
Simeon Brown's unveiled the new $32.9 billion scheme, which includes $5.5 billion for pothole prevention, and $7 billion for state highway improvements.
Brown says this is the end of funding for speed-bumps, a change councils were already told about in the Government Policy Statement published in July.
He says Kiwis are sick of councils slowing drivers down.
"Councils are the road-controlling authorities, they can still go and do other things on their roads - they just won't be receiving a subsidy from the Government for that."
