Whangarei District Council is expected to adopt a policy today to restrict where legal highs can be sold in the city.
The council put out a draft locally approved products policy (LAPP) for consultation that aims to restrict where psychoactive substances - also known as legal highs - can be sold in the central city to Lower Cameron St, Clyde St and Albert St.
When it put its Draft Psychoactive Substances Policy out last month it received 80 submissions.
Since then the Government has bowed to public pressure and banned all legal highs.
However, the products can be reintroduced if they are tested and found to be safe, meaning the council is going ahead with its LAPP in case it is needed in the future. The council will meet at an extraordinary full meeting tomorrow to vote on a final policy.
