CAB moves into Pukekohe

Sapeer Mayron Reporter from Franklin County News

Thanks to local demand, the Citizens Advice Bureau has moved into Hall Street in Pukekohe this month.

Thanks to local demand, the Citizens Advice Bureau has moved into Hall Street in Pukekohe this month.

After years of locals heading to Papakura for help across consumer rights, legal responsibilities, money and more, Pukekohe families have a branch right in town.

Two years in the making, the move is all about making CAB services more accessible to Franklin residents, manager Judy Boyd said.

Services are confidential and free, and consultations are held with fully trained volunteers who can give advice or help with paperwork or documentation.

The branch will run from 10am until 3pm and eventually extend its hours as demand grows. There will be two staff and a coordinator on site, with more volunteer recruitment on the horizon.

Boyd said the CAB aims to make sure people don't suffer just because they don't necessarily know their rights or responsibilities, or can't say what they need effectively.

The new Pukekohe CAB branch is at 3a Hall Street.

Showtime Australia’s The Bee Gees Night Fever is set to return this September to complete three final performances from its postponed 2021 tour.

The show will be making two stops in Auckland - at the north shore’s Bruce Mason Centre on 16 September and the southside’s SkyCity Theatre on 26 September – plus an exciting arena performance in Hamilton at Globox Arena Claudelands on 20 September.

The show’s international cast and crew were already in New Zealand in October 2021 ready to start their national tour when extra COVID-19 restrictions were brought in by the New Zealand government, forcing the last-minute postponement of some of their events.

The cast is thrilled to finally now be able to return to Auckland and Hamilton to perform for fans there, and is hoping to make these shows extra special for all the patrons who have been so patient and understanding.

“It’s been a difficult few years for our industry. But New Zealand fans and theatregoers have been so supportive and understanding. Now we just want to bring them a great show to say “thanks” for sticking in there with us,” says Promoter and Director Johnny Van Grinsven.

Fans will be able to hear all the disco dance-floor-fillers, smooth 70s ballads and 60s Pop standards that the world-renowned Bee Gees are famous for, including Stayin’ Alive, Jive Talkin’, You Should Be Dancin’, How Deep Is Your Love, More Than a Woman, Tragedy, If I Can’t Have You and so many more, performed live in three-part harmony with full backing band and theatrical production.

Tickets are on sale now from the venue box offices.
