Last Friday 22 July marked the tenth anniversary of tolls stopping on the old Tauranga Harbour Bridge. I remain proud of the unrelenting efforts of all the members of the Tolls Action Group which culminated in the tolls ceasing, hugely assisted at the end by those many bridge users who finally refused to pay any more because their money, long after the bridge debt had been repaid, was being used to pay for roads they did not or could not use.

well said Perry. And for all those people who thank Winston Peters for the toll free second bridge, just remember it was the Tolls Action Group who made this a political issue of value for Winston.

Remind me which of our current TCC Elected members opposed cancelling the bridge toll and used bull**** to support their case.Clue somethings never change at TCC.
