Call for freedom camping solution in Christchurch
Original source: RNZ

A council meeting in Christchurch heard complaints from New Brighton residents about freedom campers urinating, defecating, and leaving rubbish at a Beresford Street car park, with some campers also reported as intimidating. Local resident Eric Banks proposed temporary relocation of campers to council campgrounds like Spencer Park or South Brighton, and a long-term bylaw to give the council more enforcement power. Councillor Andrew Turner suggested a freedom camping hotline for clearer resident-council communication.
