The Onehunga Enhancement Society (TOES) today announced it's setting up a fighting fund to finance a potential legal challenge against the Onehunga motorway project.
TOES is not opposed to the Onehunga motorway development, and wishes to see the project completed by 2011 and within budget, including mitigation promised by Government in the 1970s.
"The motorway project will destroy an area of historic heritage and cultural significance to the people of Onehunga, and mean the community will lose its historic connection to the foreshore and harbour," said Jim Jackson Chairman of TOES.
