Importance of contractors in delivering road maintenance

Harris Leigh made this Official Information request to Michael Wood

The request was successful.

From: Harris Leigh

Dear Minister of Transport;

Under the OIA I seek any information you hold relating to the importance of contractors in delivering road maintenance in Aotearoa.

Specifically I am interested to know:
1) Whether the structure of the road maintenance industry means it relies heavily on the use of contractors;
2) Whether the geographical spread of demand for road maintenance means that local contractors are best placed to do urgent maintenance;
3) Whether it would be possible to replace the use of local contractors with directly employed public servants as proposed by the Leader of the Opposition.

Yours faithfully,

Harris Leigh

Kia ora,

On behalf of Hon. Michael Wood, thank you for your email.  

 

If your email is regarding the Mt. Roskill electorate, please email
[1][email address] and the electorate office team will
get back to you when they are able.

 

While the Minister considers all correspondence to be important and all
messages are carefully read and considered, it is not possible to provide
a personal response to every email received.

Where the Minister has portfolio responsibility for the issues that you
have raised, your correspondence will be considered and responded to where
appropriate.  If your email falls outside of these responsibilities, it
may transferred to another office for consideration.

 

Regards
