Guy Staunch Supporter of Gully Route
Otaki MP Nathan Guy continues to show strong support of the Transmission Gully route.
“I believe we need an alternative route in and out of Wellington.”
“I am going to lobby hard with the new Transport Minister Steven Joyce so he knows how important Transmission Gully is to our region and to the whole of New Zealand.”
“I’m working on a programme of visits for Mr Joyce to come and see the Otaki electorate so he can understand all of the issues that we have to do with transport and how diverse they are.”
“The import thing to note is the $400m funding that has been allocated for the gully route is secure.”
“And there’s a whole lot of work going on behind the scenes in terms of getting it up to speed for consenting.”
“There’s still the issue for the funding shortfall $600m approx for the gully route and that needs further discussion and dialogue with regional leaders”.
