Hunter Roads Ignored


Hunter Roads Ignored

Author: NRMADate: 03 June 2008

The Hunter has missed out on vital roads funding in today's State Budget, with only $2 million of new funding pledged by the Iemma Government.

NRMA Motoring & Services local Director Kyle Loades said the State Government has failed to address the needs of Hunter residents.

"The $2 million will go towards the Newcastle Inner City by-pass.

"This money is welcome however more is required to fund other projects such as the upgrade of Swansea Bridge and the fast-tracking of the Glendale Interchange.

"Not only is less money promised for the region, less is being spent to improve Hunter roads in the coming year.

"Hunter roads expenditure will drop by nearly $30 million next financial year," Mr Loades said.
