Wellington Regional mayors, iwi and community leaders have signed an open letter to the Prime Minister stating that new move on orders are not welcome in the area.

The move on orders have been proposed by the government to cope with growing numbers of homeless people in city centres - giving police powers to move people for 24 hours.

The letter from the mayors is concerned that this is not the best way to deal with the issue and will cause harm in the community.

Nick speaks with Hutt City Mayor Ken Laban about signing the letter, and the alternatives that the mayors are requesting.
