Larry Williams Drive

Christchurch businesses are noticing a rise in anti-social behaviour, driven by an increasing number of homeless people and beggars. There are reports of tents being pitched on footpaths and physical abuse. The Central City Business Association wants action and a greater police presence. Chairperson and business owner Annabel Turley says crime and antisocial behaviour is rife. She says there doesn't seem to be a police presence like they were promised after MIQ was stopped, meaning people aren't facing consequences for their bad behaviour.
