Frustration over claims police overruled the Transport Agency by allowing tomorrow's pro-Palestine march to take place on the Auckland Harbour Bridge. 

Tens of thousands of protestors are expected to cross the bridge in the morning, disrupting travel.

Auckland Councillor Maurice Williamson told Heather du Plessis-Allan that the agency told him they said no to the protest, but Police intervened.

He says Police told them the bridge had to close, to maintain civil obedience.

Williamson says protestors should have chosen to march elsewhere.
