Debate is heating up over the introduction of a congestion charge for Aucklanders.

Auckland Council's Transport and Infrastructure Committee is meeting tomorrow to discuss the so-called 'Time of Use Charge' which would see drivers charged for using some of the city's busiest roads during peak times.

Mayor Wayne Brown is making no secret of the fact he's a big fan.

Auckland Business Chamber CEO and Chair of the Northern Infrastructure Forum Simon Bridges spoke to Charlie Dreaver.
