An Auckland community where a dairy worker died in a brutal attack last year, is bitterly disappointed it won't get government funding to prevent street-level crime.
The Sandringham Business Association is not among the business groups that will automatically get a share of around $1 million dollars.
Instead, it will join other central suburbs for a share of the $53,000 allocated through the local board, while the city's two largest business associations will get significantly more.
Even so, there are fears the funding will be so thinly spread, it will have a limited impact on crime prevention.
Amy Williams has the story.
