Poll: Do you think stronger bylaws will make a difference?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Bylaws to counter antisocial behaviour in Hamilton’s CBD sparked fiery debate on Thursday, but city council staff admitted they are unlikely to be enforced - ever.

The amended bylaws mean a breach could technically result in fines of up to $20,000 for sleeping on a park bench, but officials said prosecutions have never happened and probably never will.
