Leeann Watson: Canterbury business advocate on letter asking govt to hold offenders to account

Canterbury businesses are making sure they're not forgotten as retailers grapple with crime across the country.

80 of the city's business owners have signed a letter asking the Government to hold offenders to account.

They're concerned the recent crime support announcements don't go far enough.

Canterbury Employers' Chamber Chief Executive Leeann Watson told Mike Hosking it's not unique to Christchurch, but they want to stop what they're seeing.

She says the current rules, regulations and consequences need to be reviewed to break the cycle.
