    • The council encourages whisky-drinking while it says it wants to ban liquor
      • 18 Feb 2010
      • Wellington Scoop
      • The Wellington City Council seems to be in denial. Having created the happy, over-the-top mayhem that is Courtenay Place every weekend, it’s now trying to calm things down with a ban on liquor in any public place. It already has a liquor ban in the central city, as is evidenced by its over-sized signs on lampposts. But now it wants to extend the ban into the suburbs as well.

        • ‘Dear Lindsay The problem it seems to me is that a city wide liquor ban forbidding the possession of alcohol in public places treats the possession/use of alcohol as a crime, rather than the abuse of alcohol. That possession includes when it is in your v’
        • ‘But Tom the liquor sales at primary school fairs, licensed or not, are where the bad behaviour starts. Children have a right to alcohol free spaces. You would think primary schools would be the last place where they are confronted with adults drinking at’
        • ‘Tom – this is a law that will be contravened by many, but enforced on only a few. It gives the police a tool that enables them to address drinking. A law designed to address unacceptable behaviour should do just that, not criminalise an activity of many’

      • 29 Jun 2008
      • Texture
      • Wellington City will be under a 24-hour liquor ban as of the 31st of July. Wellington City Council voted on an amendment to the Liquor Control bylaw, which is currently effective from 5pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday until 8am the following morning. That ban is situated upon the central city, Oriental Bay and Mt Victoria Lookout. When the amendment comes into effect, Aro Valley and Central park will be added to those liquor no-go zones.

        • ‘Great news.  Living in Aro Valley, I even made a personal submission supporting the ban.  I know it doesn't solve the problem of the alcoholics themselves but at least I'm spared from their unpredictibility as I have to walk past them at least a couple o’
        • ‘Yeah, I've heard the same thing from alot of people, Catwoman.  We all have the right to walk around freely and not get hassled.  I've got enough friends to do that for me anyway (They say it keeps me grounded).  ’

      • 7 May 2008
      • Downtown Community Ministry
      • As submissions close today on the proposed amendment to Wellington City Council’s Liquor Control Bylaw, Downtown Community Ministry says effective options are still available to address the issue. Downtown Community Ministry Director Stephanie McIntyre says, “We remain unconvinced that enough evidence exists to support this amendment especially when tried and true options used elsewhere have not been explored.”

      • WellUrban
      • Central Wellington currently has a liquor ban in place on Friday and Saturday nights, prohibiting drinking in public spaces. This might seem draconian enough, but the council doesn't think so, and is planning to extend it.
