Boozed parents dropping off children at school prompts liquor store backlash
Nearly 100 submissions were received by the Hurunui District Licensing Committee ahead of a three-day hearing to decide whether Thirsty Liquor will be allowed to operate in the main street of Amberley.

“We have even had drunk parents fighting and verbally abusing each other outside the school gate.’’
