Drinking By Laws
Having worked in central Auckland for over 20 years and spent many Saturday mornings with a bucket of hot water (capful of Janola) and a stiff broom I welcome any change to the drinking law that makes the central city a nicer place.
Comments by some councilors that tourists and some residents will be disadvantaged are rubbish (something else they don’t seem to be able to deal with properly).
A safe, clean and idiot free City holds far more appeal.
