Poll: Do you think a new centre for homeless people would help?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A Hamilton City councillor is throwing her weight behind a homeless centre in the CBD, which would see funds destined for a Garden Place playground redirected for the project.

Anna Casey-Cox says the centre would be a “more supportive” option to try and sort out anti-social behaviour in the CBD than the “enforcement” approach.
