Last chance to have your say on the gambling venues policy
You have until next Friday (16 Nov) to put in a submission either in support or against Council’s proposed ‘sinking lid policy’ on gaming machines and gambling venues. Go to www.tauranga.govt.nz... now to have your say. If it’s adopted we would see a decline over time of the number of venues (including TAB venues) and pokie machines in Tauranga. This would however slowly affect the availability of funding for the racing industry, sports and community organisations, and clubs. Help Council make their decision – make your submission by 5pm on Friday. Thanks!
