Amended application made for liquor outlet in Amberley
An application for a Thirsty Liquor store on the main street of the North Canterbury has been withdrawn and a second application lodged – this time for a shop with a black exterior – after some submitters expressed concern about a having "big orange shop" in the town.
The revised liquor licence application closes for feedback on Tuesday (March 3).
The Health Promotion Agency is sponsoring Community Law to run a workshop on how to make a submission. It will explain the Sale And Supply Act 2012 and how to make an objection that is based in law. All are welcome to attend the workshop, which will be held on Thursday (February 27) in the RSA room of the Amberley Library from 5pm to 6.30pm.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
