A Hamilton City Councillor believes preventing dairy robberies will take a communal approach.

It comes after a Hamilton East shopkeeper received a fractured skull in a robbery yesterday.

Two men left with cigarettes and cash after attacking the Emm Jay Dairy shopkeeper with a machete.

Councillor Angela O'Leary says local Government can be leaders by getting agencies around the table.

"The business owners and the police and actually figuring out what are the things we can do to start making people safer in our community."
