Trevor Wilson is calling for the Auckland Council to take action against bottle stores in South Auckland that continually flout its bylaw with signs advertising liquor in the community.

The Auckland Council s 2015 signage bylaw controls the signs that can be displayed at shops and other businesses. It limits the number, size, coverage, and placement of them, including window signs and sandwich boards.
While there are different rules for signs in town centres and industrial areas, there is no distinction made for bottle stores and liquor outlets. Something Wilson and CAAH want to see change.
