Cr Sharon Stewart asking a question for potentially the first time this year - and its about the Palestine Protest over the bridge and how much danger there could be (even though several protests have happened over the bridge completely safely) lol
Mayor grilling NZTA staff about Mill Road cost, staff talking about 'lessons learnt' from Puhoi to Warkworth. I think the lesson is, politicians shouldn't mandate gold plated 4 lane expressways
Project K on track to finish this year despite 'disruptions' - via Transport, Resilience and Infrastructure Committee
