This week in Whanganui about 15 people who'd been camped out permanently in a freedom camping spot were evicted by the District Council.
Until very recently dozens of homeless people had called the spot 'home' but in the past few months almost 50 people staying there have been found permanent places to live.
The freedom camping site is right on the river, close to a popular walkway and also near a boat club.
But others are questioning whether it's really fair given it is the week before Christmas.
