Auckland's mayor is hitting back at the Government over the scrapping of the Auckland fuel tax.

It will be gone on June 30.

Wayne Brown says the decision will leave a $1.2 billion dollar shortfall in transport funding over the next four years.

He says it could lead to the pausing of bus upgrades, cycleways, the freight network and ferry charging infrastructure.

He says he wants to be making decisions about what projects go ahead.

"We've got to decide, and we want to decide what goes in Auckland. This is my city, not theirs."
