Transmission Gully – Best news in 15 years says Dunne – 2008-06-24

The announcement today of a preferred route for the Transmission Gully highway is the best news in 15 years of campaigning for it says veteran TG supporter and Ohariu-Belmont MP Hon Peter Dunne.

“What this means is all the uncertainty is removed. After years of haggling and paper-shuffling, finally a route has been chosen. Transmission Gully is all on.

“Here is a tangible sign of the Government’s commitment to the people of Wellington and Transmission Gully.
