In the News: Opinions and discussion on the Central City Alcohol ban

The Central City Alcohol ban came into force on December 26. The City Council proposed this ban on carrying and drinking alcohol in the Central City  to make the area safer at the weekend. The ban applies to the public carrying or drinking alcohol on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, from 7pm to 7am the following morning. All streets, malls, parks and public places inside the zone are now alcohol-free at those times.

Read the Christchurch City Council’s information on the Central City Alcohol ban.  It includes media releases and a map of the ban area.
