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.

 @BCBDZC5answered…1mo1MO

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

 @BC72VBDanswered…2mos2MO

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

 @BBB8CDXanswered…2mos2MO

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

 @BB5YS4Wanswered…3mos3MO

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