Poll: What are your thoughts on people living in commercial buildings?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A Te Aroha landlord in a battle with the council says evicting a tenant from his commercial building would be a death sentence.

Andrew Bydder - a Hamilton city councillor - says he and his family won’t put the man on the street.

Matamata-Piako District Council, however, is pushing ahead with Environment Court action, and the mayor says she’d be concerned if a relative was living in similar conditions.
