Kevin Taylor, who had attended a meeting organised by Henson and traffic engineer Duncan Campbell to discuss changes to the central business district under the Taupō Town Centre Transformation (TTCT), said “to characterise my korero as defensive, means I am damned if I do, damned if I don’t.” The pair have been questioning the rationale in treating a number of intersections in the TTCT plans with traffic lights rather than roundabouts – which they say were signalled in earlier council plans. A council spokesperson has said designs are yet to be finalised though confirmed there are “initial designs for lights along Spa Rd.”
