Tasman District Council abandons proposed cap on new bottle stores
Tasman District Council's decision to abandon a proposed cap on new bottle stores will lead to more alcohol-related abuse, according to a harm reduction advocate. The council withdrew the proposal from it's draft alcohol policy last week after staff advised could result in legal action. The move would have capped the number of off licences for the next six years. Liz Gordon from Communities Against Alcohol Harm spoke to Lisa Owen.
