Should the government prioritize the maintenance and repair of existing roads and bridges over building new infrastructure?

No, the NZ governmentS have done too little to maintain roads and infrastructure, preferring either feel-good social projects (Labour) or savings (National). Both betrayals of their responsibility. They now must do both.

This is not a yes or no question. It depends upon location and logistics and other variables.

Only slighty, yes

government needs to do both

No. The government has let things slide - they need to be doing both.

Boh yes and no, new infrastructure where necessary, but maintaining what we have as well

I think it should be split. Build new but also fix the current properly! No shortcuts.

Yes, but all the while they also focus on improving infrastructure.

We need both; we're so far behind on transport infrastructure that we have no choice but to bite the bullet and do both.

Yes only if it’s cheaper to maintain in the long run

government should repair and maintain roads whilst building efficient infrastructure

Prioritize on a case by case basis based on economic analysis.

The goverment should redirect spending to bike lanes and pedestrian friendly infrastructure

No. The government should get a move on with both - both have been neglected and managed badly by both governments.

Should the leaders of opposition parties build a new sections infrastructure
