Tony Randle: Wellington City Councillor on $250m mistake found in cost-benefit-analysis of proposed speed limit slash

Wellington City Council must  temporarily hit the brakes on its proposed speed limit slash. In its proposal to drop many speed limits to 30 kilometres per hour, the council overstated - by $250-million -  the cost-benefit analysis of reducing crashes in consultation papers. Councillor Tony Randle spotted the mistake and told Mike Hosking it was peer reviewed. He says more than one person made a mistake and it was one small error that multiplied. Submitters are being apologised to and council will be briefed in August. LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
