He said allowing people to drink unsupervised in public was a bad look for the city.
Cr Aaron Keown supported Barber’s call for a city-wide ban, saying it was something the council should be exploring.
The comments were made during a discussion about a temporary alcohol ban around Woolston village, put in place in December 2022 after residents raised concerns about drinking and antisocial behaviour in the village. The council voted on Wednesday to extend the existing temporary ban until a permanent ban could be put in place.
Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board Paul McMahon said a city-wide ban would be harder to argue for than a specific one like Woolston's because the problem has to be proportional to the action taken.

URGENTLY-looking for grazing for one quiet mare.
Wanting something with either an arena or paddock that you can ride in.
Respectful and reliable.
Ideally looking at Halswell or Hoonhay or anything close to town.

I have a Duratuf shed 2.6m x 2.6m with a bench and flooring. I need to deconstruct it here in Cashmere (on the flat) and reconstruct it in St Martins. Don't care how many pieces (whole walls?) as long as it goes back together.
How far we have come in such a short period. This photograph of central Christchurch was taken on May 22, 2012, little more than a year after the earthquakes. How different the city looks now - Te Pae, Tūranga and the housing of the east frame are all bold additions. Do you recognise any buildings… View moreHow far we have come in such a short period.

How different the city looks now - Te Pae, Tūranga and the housing of the east frame are all bold additions. Do you recognise any buildings which have since been demolished?
