Commenting on the Government's repeal of the Auckland Regional Fuel Tax, Auckland Ratepayers’ Alliance spokesperson, Sam
Warren, said:
"This will be welcome news for Aucklanders struggling with fuel costs once this comes into effect on June 30."
"It's encouraging that the remaining unspent funds are to be ring-fenced and put into infrastructure projects like the
Eastern Busway, City Rail Link and road-corridor improvements."
"The issue now remains for Auckland Transport to focus on sufficient roading maintenance – rather than wasteful spending
on back-office bureaucracy and unpopular pet projects."
