The Government's new directives for Kainga Ora are being hailed a step in the right direction by the business community.
It's requiring the government agency to take stronger measures against persistent antisocial tenant behaviour and abolish the Sustaining Tenancies Framework.
Parnell Business Association General Manager Cheryl Adamson is welcoming the announcement.
She told Mike Hosking she's hoping it will give Kainga Ora more power to manage behaviour appropriately.
Adamson says if residents understand there are extensive consequences for their actions, it may start to filter through.
