The Whanganui Council has released an amended version of its bylaw banning gang patches in the area after the High Court ruled the original was invalid.

The old bylaw banned patches in areas, in which 95 percent of Whanganui's residents live.

Under the new bylaw, patches would be banned in just the central business district, 19 parks and the main suburban shopping centres.

The council is now seeking public feedback on the amended by-law.
