A new plan to make Auckland safer is being welcomed by the city's main business association. 

Today Auckland Minister Simeon Brown and Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown unveiled their action plan - including boosting outreach teams to connect rough sleepers with support, and a review of bylaws. 

Heart of the City CEO Viv Beck told Heather du-Plessis Allan that the plan is broad. 

She says it picks up things businesses have been crying out for, and while the proof's in the pudding, businesses have got their point across.
