The chaos with traffic build-up on the Omokoroa to Bethlehem State Highway 2 road has been created by the cancellation of progress of the Takitumu North Link Stage 1 Project after the 2017 General Election.

Had it been allowed to proceed it would be completed by now ready for the expected growth coming out of Ōmokoroa.

In my opinion there should be a Royal Commission of Enquiry into who was at fault for delaying progress of the TNL. This action has caused a public nuisance with more than 6000 hours of lost time on any one day, which is surely criminal at the very least.
