  1. letter to Minister of transport Phil Twyford, after his press release to spend big only on regional roading and not any regional rail.

    Another broken promise here again;- as no rail funding is in his plans.?

    Protecting our environment & health.
    In association with other Community Groups, NHTCF and all Government Agencies since 2001.
    • Health and wellbeing.
    • East Coast Transport Project.

    31st August 2018.

    Resolution; HB community groups request for invitation to HBRC Land transport meeting Friday 7th September at 10am to hear community groups request funding for residential mitigation including noise walls and low noise surfacing to reduce truck traffic noise vibration and air pollution health effects in line with Parliamentary Commissioner For The Environment; (PCE) recommendations. (see attached below)

    Our community call is to HBRC Land Transport Committee NCC and Phil Twyford as Minister of Transport to provide the funding for all mitigation for all residential impacts from truck route noise, vibration & air pollution mitigation throughout the road network system to the Port of Napier is secured and given respect and adequate funding from the recent Labour Government Minister of Transport Phil Twyford press release sent today as his road funding package of $324 million for HB roading (see below) to offer the HB residents living alongside the truck routes he is servicing provides the funding for in his forecast $192 million for ‘Forecast Maintenance And Operations’ and from the $116 million for “Regional Network Improvements” is to apply some of that funding for those mitigations long requested under years of truck noise vibration and air pollution health impacts to the lives of all residents who still need to make their lives safe and secure with health and wellbeing’ as their human rights are given them by the Government.

    We are disapointed in this Minister not funding any regional rail services we urgently need to reduce road only freight truck activities and to save our environment and make the roads less clutered with monster trucks.

    Our Groups will be submitting to the HBRC Land transport committee this request next Friday at 10.20 am at the HBRC Chambers, all are invited.

  4. Ok. this government tries to sell the nice dream to the middle class, but this economy and society is screwed to the extreme totally UNSUSTAINABLE, so we will get more immigrants to provide for cheap labour that no Kiwi wants to provide, and for more rates and taxes to pay for the massive infrastructure developments necessary.

    This country is the greatest BS country on earth, with endless lies by one Auckland Mayor Goff and an also lying Minister for Housing and Transport, one Phil the Lying Twyford Double Tongue. We will have explosions of costs and no true progress, as the voters are not with it.
