The Portage Licensing Trust covers New Lynn, the area around Waikumete Cemetery, Glen Eden and Titirangi. The Waitakere Licensing Trust covers Glendene, Piha, Henderson, Te Atatu and Kumeu. Together they operate as The Trusts. West Auckland Licensing Trust Action Group spokesperson Nick Smale says he'd like to see competition. "Other operators [should be able to] open bars so we can get some diversity in the offerings for going out and having a drink. "The licensing trust venues still feel like they're better suited to a few decades ago, and they just aren't keeping up with the changing tastes of the demographic." The petition needs 28,000 signatures - 12,684 in the Portage Licensing Trust area and 15,283 in the Waitakere Licensing Trust area, 15 percent of the population. A simple majority vote in a referendum would remove The Trusts' monopoly over the region. The last vote was held in 2003, when 58 percent voted to keep the trusts in charge. The West Auckland Licensing Trust Action Group says repealing the trusts' monopoly wouldn't result in a liquor store on every corner thanks to the Sale and Supply of Liquor Act, passed in 2012.

The cameras will be in operation by October, bringing the total red light cameras operating in the city to 12. Auckland mayor Phil Goff says the red light cameras will improve the city's safety. "Last year there were four fatalities and 19 serious injuries at intersections due to red light running." Between 2012 and 2016, there were four deaths and 75 serious injuries. "We are not interested in red light cameras as a revenue raising measure. We are publicising where the cameras will be to change behaviour and prevent people being hurt and killed, not to catch people out," Mr Goff said. He says a trial of red light cameras in Auckland between 2008 and 2010 reduced red light running by 43 per cent and crashes as a result by 69 per cent. Yet, in Auckland there were expensive red light cameras added to six intersections in July last year, but as of May there had been no fines issued, according to an OIA. Over the next ten years, Mr Goff plans to bring the total number of red light cameras in Auckland to 42. Road Policing Operations Manager Insp Peter McKennie says running a red light isn't worth the risk. "You've got to ask yourself; is it worth crashing and risking injury - or worse killing yourself or someone else?" The new camera sites are funded by the regional fuel tax.
