Just last week, the Transport Minister was asked to "put a rocket under" parts of the Let's Get Wellington Moving project and get things moving.

But now, the government's appetite to get Wellington moving may have cooled, with David Parker refusing to commit to the project heading into the election.

Greater Wellington Chair Daran Ponter, and Wellington Mayor Tory Whanau, wrote to David Parker two weeks ago asking for parts of the project to be fast tracked, specifically improvements around the Basin Reserve.

Ponter spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
