You should all have received leaflets in your mailbox that we distributed last week regarding Club 22 and the noise nuisance and other issues arising from intoxicated clubbers parking in St James Ave. There have already been several very useful responses, but if you have not already done so, please put something down in writing and email it to Margaret (margaret.dave@xtra.co.nz) or put it in her mailbox at 111.
Of course you may need to do something on the night as well. Many of you have put up with a great deal of distress it seems, but it important not to take matters into your own hands when dealing with intoxicated youths. If there is excessive loud music ring City Council Noise Control 942-8999 for immediate action. For clear-cut law breaking, including drinking on the street in a liquor ban area and disorderly behaviour, ring the police: 111 if an emergency, otherwise ring the 363-7400 24-hour number for a less urgent response.
In any event, please document these events so that we can use them as ammunition to prevent renewal of Club 22's license. This is a rare opportunity to do something that will significantly improve the quality of life in our neighbourhood.
