00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: I've got a scrap in Nelson councilor by law banning

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: advertising flags. You know there's advertising flags outside shops. Coffee

00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: on Queen has been threatened with a five hundred dollars

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: fine forced to remove the flag. It attracts an estimated

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: two to three hundred dollars in foot traffic. Apparently Matt

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: Redwood is the co owner of the place in these weathers.

7
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,800

9
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: I take it.

10
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 2: No, We've We've been in this business five years, me

11
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: and my wife, and this law came into affectus. By

12
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: law came into sect in November and we never knew

13
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: about it until about three weeks ago, just after the floods.

14
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: The councilman came down and told us all the business

15
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 2: we had to remove their flags.

16
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,279
Speaker 1: Are there lots of flags on the.

17
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 2: Main street of Richmond. I would probably count twenty down

18
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 2: the main street, so it's quite affected for our businesses.

19
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: Well, I was going to ask, do you know it's

20
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: effective or you think it's effective?

21
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: No, I definitely know it's effective because we opened so

22
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: early in the morning's Mike and people just tell me,

23
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: we know you're open because your flag's out, and of

24
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: coll to other business down the street and they hidden

25
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: buy kinder boxes and stuff and they put their flags

26
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: out and people know where they are, right, it's yeah,

27
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 2: it's driving. Yeah, there's taking a lot of money out

28
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: of our pocket.

29
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: Do you do you have people complain about the flags.

30
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: I've never had a first to complain at the flag,

31
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: never ever, because once.

32
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: They are a bit flappy on a windy day, aren't they.

33
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: They can they swing around, They can hit you, can't they.

34
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. Our footpath here white is two and a half

35
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: meters wide, so yeah, so it's a very wide footpath.

36
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 2: So between where my flag sits from where the shop

37
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 2: is two meters gap, so you're virtually walking in the

38
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: car doors if you're walking to where the flags arepot Well.

39
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: When the person comes in from the council, what do

40
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: they I mean, what do they call themselves? Are they

41
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,639
Speaker 1: the flag ticket? What are they called? I'm from the council.

42
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: First of all, it was the parking warden who had

43
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: to issue their first one, so he was the first

44
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: porter call. And then we had a gentleman come down

45
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: from the council who controls the by laws and him

46
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: and me had caught a heated discussion about it, and

47
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: I just sid that what this is? Cost of this money?

48
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: How does this I'm about? And we didn't get complication

49
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: on this. It was this pushed through without nobody knowing.

50
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,040

51
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,520
