A ban on cars from the summit of Mt Eden, one of Auckland's best-known sightseeing spots, has overwhelming support in a new Herald-DigiPoll survey.
And a third of those surveyed not only wanted the popular tourist location to be free of vehicles but for the ban to also extend to other volcanic cones with road access such as One Tree Hill, Mt Wellington, Mt Albert, Mt Roskill and Mt Victoria.
The poll result comes as members of the authority in charge of the 14 volcanic cones work out the finer detail of a car ban on Mt Eden. It was agreed to in principle in 2011 and is expected to be approved in April, when members are presented with a detailed report.
