    Porirua City Council has agreed a sinking lid policy for pub and club pokie machines

    Porirua City Council has agreed a sinking lid policy for pub and club pokie machines


    Ten licensed venues across the city are running 156 machines.

    The policy means machines can't be relocated or merged if a venue closes - and most submitters were in favour.

    The council has opted not to make an ethical commitment - to not apply for pokie machine grants.

    Mayor Anita Baker says the money it gets from the machines funds the community bus and city events.
