Daniel Newman: Manurewa-Papakura councillor would like more power to handle noise complaints

Rowdy street preachers on Auckland's Queen Street triggered more than three hundred noise complaints last year.  The group, armed with a microphone, has rallied against abortion, and regularly preaches messages such as "hell is real" and "Jesus saves".  But the 25 excessive noise direction notices issued as a result can only legally stop the din for 72 hours.  Manurewa-Papakura councillor Daniel Newman says his ward is the home of noise complaints - and wants notices made effective for up to 14 days.  He says one person's raucous party is another person's prolonged misery. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
