Taranaki crash exposes need for road upgrades - Ross Paterson

In the wake of the horror crash in Taranaki, a former mayor is wondering whether the Government has its transport priorities right. Ross Paterson was Western Bay of Plenty mayor in August 2016 when five men were killed near Katikati on their way home from work. But despite promises that money would be spent to make the road safer, nothing has happened. And Mr Paterson says the new government's priorities don't give him confidence that that will change any time soon.
