Poll: Did you want a liquor store here?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Plans to open a new bottle store in Hamilton’s Nawton Shopping Centre have been blocked, with red flags raised over alcohol-related harm and the applicant’s track record.

Deol Enterprises 2012 Limited had applied for an off-licence to operate from the former Smugglers Nawton site – the same premises where a liquor licence was declined in 2023.
