    A northland businessman says border checkpoint confusion is causing booking cancellations

    A northland businessman says border checkpoint confusion is causing booking cancellations


    Police will keep Northland's borders in place with iwi support when Auckland's border opens.

    In November the Government changed Covid laws to grant iwi organisations power to close roads and public places to stop vehicles.

    Northland businessman Grant Harnish says the law change is frustrating.

    He says everyone's welcome in the North - if you comply with the requirements, they want to see you.
