Poll: Do you want Te Huia to continue?

But any decisions coming from the NZTA’s board won’t be made until it meets again in February after the Waikato Regional Council voted unanimously to send it a letter asking for an extension of Te Huia’s trial period for an extra year with the same levels of funding.
