Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Concrete roads, uncommon in New Zealand, could offer significant savings in time and money for local and central government if used for the Cambridge to Piarere Expressway, according to a newly released industry report.

The report, The Case for Concrete Roads, was launched by Transport Minister Simeon Brown during an event at Claudelands on Wednesday.

The city's new mayor is setting out his plan

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton City Council is pledging to cut costs and avoid “gold plating” infrastructure as part of a new strategy to limit rates increases, but Mayor Tim Macindoe says central government support may be needed to meet a new national rates cap.
