Family Statement! Kāinga Ora Update for Bolton Street / Marlowe Road 19/06
Kia ora whānau, after the recent RNZ article on Kāinga Ora I have managed to track down some family members of Roy ‘Tarby’ Thompson. It was fantastic talking to them and hearing stories about the man including how he got his nickname (Tarby not Darby). They have sent me the attached statement to share with the community and media. I have put it together as a poster if you would like to save it and share around. It is clear the land was donated for pensioner housing and this should remain the case in the redevelopment.
Additionally I have received a phone call from the lawyers. They are still working on our case and are looking deeply into the sale of the land specifically. No word yet on resource consent and I have a meeting with the CEO of Kāinga Ora next week.
Device Repairs
I formally operated a small business from home as a device repairer in Nelson
I am looking to start operating here
If you need device repairs, such as mobiles, tablets, laptops and other devices. Feel free to contact me for a price
Also if you have old devices you want to keep out of the landfill and are happy for me to refurbish and on-sell let me know. As I do like to keep broken devices which I can repair available for others to purchase at an affordable price. As I think this promotes sustainably in this throw away culture
