CAB moves into Pukekohe
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.

Moments & Memories - An exhibition by Michelle Neale
Moments and Memories
An exhibition by Michelle Neale
27 November - 16 December 2024
Moments & Memories’ celebrates and captures those moments and emotions we experience when looking at art. Whether it reminds you of someone, somewhere, or simply makes you feel something; be it joy, love, nostalgia, relaxation, excitement or just peace. Staring at the movement and brush strokes, the viewer is invited to loose themselves in the work and take in whatever is brought to light in that moment and enjoy the experience.
Michelle is passionate about representing or emoting memory through art. Some of the paintings in this series are inspired by wedding bouquets, directly representing the gathered florals in an abstract form with new life and energy.
Opening event: Saturday 30th November 10-12pm
Come and celebrate the opening of ‘Moments & Memories’ with Michelle. Hear directly from the artist about their inspirations and practice.
We look forward to seeing you there.
