Kia ora Phillip,

 

Thank you for your email. 

 

Unfortunately, we never received your original request through FYI.org.nz
on 31 January 2024. Therefore, we have used the date that we received your
request (when you sent your follow up email), which is 12 March 2024. We
have not extended your case.

We have on a number of occasions failed to receive requests from FYI, and
Auckland Transport is not able to respond cases where we have not been
notified. Coming to us directly is always a preferred option.

 

I will provide you with a decision on your request by 11 April 2024, or
sooner.

 

Nga mihi,
