Proposal to ban sugary drinks at council facilities causes debate
Not everyone's sweet with a proposal to expand a sugary drink ban at Palmerston North council facilities. Fizzy drinks were replaced at libraries and community centres by milk, water and zero calorie drinks in 2017. Later this month the council is set to debate whether to expand that ban to all its other facilities including Central Energy Trust Arena. Palmerston North Mayor Grant Smith spoke to Lisa Owen.
