Show Notes

Auckland businesses have demanded more action on addressing antisocial behaviour in the city centre.

They're calling to adjust a bylaw, which would give the council power to trespass people if they believe they're a risk to public safety.

Fort Street restaurant Vivace is planning on giving safety advice to customers and using private security guards.

Co-owner Mandy Lusk says the unruly behaviour is a nuisance and hurts their businesses.

"But there's also people just out there making a nuisance of themselves- and they seem to get some kind of pleasure out of scaring people and being aggressive."
