Have your say: Signs & ads at liquor stores
Many of our communities are swamped with liquor stores. The more liquor stores, the more liquor store signs & advertising.
Auckland Council is currently asking for public feedback on signs and advertising at liquor stores. Consultation closes October 27.
We've made it super-easy to have your say. It just takes 2 mins at www.protectourfuture.org.nz.... We've already received ~400 submissions!
We know that liquor stores can be an eyesore in neighbourhoods, with their huge posters and numerous signs. This can impact the way that communities feel about where they live, reducing community wellbeing.
We also know that the exterior of liquor stores often feature images of alcohol brands, products and drinking occasions. Research shows that alcohol ads are harmful to our children, young people and persons with alcohol use disorders.
Restricting signs and advertising at liquor stores is a win-win. We can create healthier, fairer environments that support Aucklanders to drink less and reap the amazing benefits. We can do this now while continuing our efforts to reduce the proliferation of outlets across many communities in Auckland.
Thank you for your support.
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.
