What did this Labour Government do when they took office in 2017? They cancelled the Woodend bypass. So not only do Waimakariri commuters have to watch their road-user charges being redirected to Auckland, they don't even get the promised roading infrastructure under a Labour Government. And another kick in the guts was the costing of the Woodend bypass was $120 million at the time. This Government spent more money on consultants for the failed Auckland cycleway bridge and the doomed Auckland light rail. They'll spend more on consultants than they'll build on roads in regional New Zealand.
