WCC Mayoral candidates on bar closing times
Do you support the current closing times for CBD bars of 4am. If not, what time would you prefer?
- Nick Leggett: Yes.
- Nicola Young: Yes – the police must not dictate licensing policy
- Justin Lester: Yes, the current balance is good.
- Helene Ritchie: Earlier-we have to use a range of strategies to curb excessive drinking and singificant costs to individuals, families and our health system.
- Andy Foster: 4am is the national default time (in law). That works for me
- Jo Coughlan: Yes
So five candidates in favour of the status quo and one in favour of an earlier closing time.
