Auckland Ratepayers’ Alliance Invites Minister To Up The Ante And Sign Petition
In response to Auckland Transport’s introduction of 24-hour parking charges in the CBD, Transport Minister Simeon Brown has expressed support for the Mayor’s calls for greater accountability. Commenting, Auckland Ratepayers’ Alliance Spokesperson, Sam Warren, said:
“The Minister is rightly disappointed by the blockheaded decisions being made by Auckland Transport without any sense of accountability to Aucklanders.
“The only thing scarier than a Council Controlled Organisation – is one that Council has actually lost control over.
“With no public consultation, and evidently no communication with the Mayor, Auckland Transport has become a force unto itself.
“If the Minister is serious about restoring accountability, I am inviting him to join other Aucklanders in signing our petition to scrap the proposed parking changes and bring AT back in line by visiting ratepayers.nz/cbd_parking.”
