Tauranga residents are up in arms over NZTA's plan for a second toll point on the new Eastern Link.

Drivers passing through the Pāpāmoa East Interchange would be charged $1.10, on top of the $2.30 already charged.

A public meeting tomorrow's expected to be fiery. 

City Councillor Steve Morris says it's not fair for people living in Pāpāmoa East.

"What's worse is that 80 cents out of that $1.10, according to NZTA, is going on transaction charges."
