Our CEO Mark had a chat to RNZ’s Mihi Forbes about the proposed ban on beggars, rough sleepers and “move on” orders. We need a robust solution with sustained, wrap around support - one that doesn’t just cause displacement issues.

A great day for Newmarket!

A great morning shared with various Business Associations from across the Auckland region and Hon Chris Penk MP as Minister for Small Business & Manufacturing.

Do you know what to do in the event of a terror attack or Active Armed Offender situation? The Newmarket Business Association has been a member of the Crowded Places Business Advisory Group (CPBAG) since it was set up almost 5 years ago. Meetings are held throughout the year to discuss what’s happening in the various crowded places that are represented from across NZ – airports/ stadia/ transport hubs & stations/ shopping centres/ town centres/ tourism, hospitality and retail groups etc. Although NZ’s current national terrorism threat level is LOW – meaning “a terrorist attack is assessed as a realistic possibility” knowing what to do either here at home, or when travelling overseas could save your life, and the lives of others.    Recently our CEO Mark Knoff-Thomas, and members of the Advisory Groups, along with police and Associate Police Minister Casey Costello got together at Sky Stadium in Wellington to launch the Escape Hide Tell campaign (MC’d by our own MKT!)   Find out more below https://lnkd.in/gUzHu-Ma
