I don't suppose that I am the only person who says a silent thank you to Winston Peters, each time I drive over what I consider to be Winston's Bridge.
The bridge over from Tauranga to The Mount is a joy to drive, especially because there is no toll to go over it. As I understand it, the reason there is no toll charge is down to Winston. My thanks to him are usually silent, but I would like to make it public, as probably most people who travel over the new bridge, have no idea how much the people of the greater Tauranga district owe to Winston Peters.
