The knives appear to be out for Auckland Transport.

Wayne Brown's putting forward a proposal to strip AT of its policymaking functions and have elected representatives control it.

It also includes plans to abolish the council’s development agency and its events and economic development agency.

He'll need the backing of councillors, and in the case of AT's control, a law change.

Brown told Heather du Plessis-Allan that he’s sick of being blamed for things he doesn’t control.

He said that AT has had 12 years of complete independence to the point where the council almost seems to be more of a nuisance than an owner, and they’re not listening as much as he’d like.
