Blackspots Announcement Raises A Question
The pretence of the government that it is putting extra funding into rural state highway blackspots is diabolical, says New Zealand First Leader and Northland MP Rt Hon Winston Peters.
“The big question is, where is the rest of the money it siphoned off from rural road support funding over seven years, from 2009-2016, and put into the Roads of National Significance?
“Today Minister of Transport Simon Bridges announces a project titled, Safer Roads and Roadsides Programme, but that’s just already proposed projects being cobbled together under a new collective name.
“Work has already started on some according to information supplied.”
