Job not up to scratch?

If you have problems with services or products, you may be protected by the CGA. You should expect services to be carried out with appropriate competency and skills, and completed to a reasonable standard.

For example, Jan had two painters provide quotes for some painting and wallpaper work. She chose her painter and the work was completed. Two weeks later she noticed bumps and lumps in the wallpaper, that she hadn’t noticed at the time the bill was paid.

With a faulty product, you can return it and ask for a repair, replacement or refund. But that’s not so easy with a service! But Jan’s story ended well, the painter came back and rectified the problem at no cost to Jan.

I live at Lake Tarawera and go around blue lake regularly and my dogs sniffed out this rubbish on Tuesday. It had been dumped down the bank by the lookout carpark to Blue lake. I didn't notice any 'no rubbish dumping' signs and I would have though this was common sense but it makes me wonder if the council should put some in. I assume it was dumped by tourists who come to view our beautiful country and then have no respect for it's clean green image.
