After an amendment to the city-wide alcohol ban was proposed by Cr Wain – to limit its extension to two suburbs where there was public support for it – the mayor instructed the councilors that, by living in the city voted 12th in the world in quality of life, they should “have the guts” to vote for the city-wide ban which she favoured. liquorban wcc issues government media Sat, 26 Jun 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=25746 Wellington Scoop 2010-06-26T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=24459 he city council phoned me this week. It wanted to know what I thought about its plan for a city-wide drinking ban 24 hours a day and seven days a week. It wasn’t actually the council who called. It was a market research company, hired by the council. But the questioning were more or less unbiased, except when the researcher told me the police prefer a city-wide ban. However he didn’t push the council view. liquorban wcc issues government media Wed, 28 Apr 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=24459 Wellington Scoop 2010-04-28T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=23177 wcc liquorban sanctuary government issues conservation media Wed, 31 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=23177 Wellington Scoop 2010-03-31T00:00:00Z -41.2917079 174.7521904 Zealandia, Lake Road, Highbury, Wellington, Wellington Region, 6011, New Zealand http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=20936 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. liquorban issues media Thu, 18 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=20936 Wellington Scoop 2010-02-18T00:00:00Z
