    A Dunedin City Councillor's disappointed by the city's piece of the transport pie

    A Dunedin City Councillor's disappointed by the city's piece of the transport pie


    Otago and Southland will get 1.4 billion dollars over the next three years - under the National Land Transport Plan.

    Councillor Jim O'Malley says improvements needed on parts of State Highway 1 and Highway 88 past the hospital - but they're not getting enough investment.

    He says they should be getting the regional roads of significance funding.
