Poll: Do you think there should be a toll on the Waikato Expressway extension?

Libby Totton Reporter from Cambridge Edition

The latest piece of the Waikato Expressway could be a toll road.

New Zealand Transport Agency has confirmed it will assess whether the 16km, four laned stretch from the outskirts of Cambridge to the new SH1/SH29 roundabout at Piarere would be suitable for charging.

Do you think there should be a toll on the expressway extension? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
