Auckland's central business association is backing a ban on homelessness in city centres – with conditions.
During Question Time in Parliament yesterday, Labour suggested the Government was planning to introduce such a ban.
A Heart of the City survey has found 90% of operators are affected by rough sleepers and begging.
Chief Executive Viv Beck told Mike Hosking there needs to be change.
She says most central businesses would support the move as long as there are really good solutions available for vulnerable people.
However, she isn’t sure what the Government has decided to do, or whether an announcement is coming.
But Beck told Hosking she's been making "good progress" in her talks with relevant ministers.
She says they've discussed addressing economic risks and looking after people who need support.
