You can help keep fires from spreading quickly by having your curtains and upholsteries treated with a fire-retardant solution. Fire-retarding curtain fabric dramatically slows the progress of the flame. We spray on a solution that helps prevent the fire from catching onto the curtains and igniting them, allowing the flame to travel upwards quickly.
The 2016 Building regulations now require curtains in ANY public space (such as a restaurant, school, hall) to have fire retardant curtains.
Our solution is quick to apply, odourless, can be applied on site, good for natural and synthetic materials, and we provide a 5 year Certificate of Compliance for AS 1530 Part 2 (the Australian & NZ standard for flame-retardant fabrics for use in curtains and drapes).
Call us on 0800 579 0501 to find out more.

There is still time to have your say. It's not hard to do. Google the council's website and use the online form. The form is simple to use and you don't have to say much; a couple of sentences with your thoughts will do. You don't have to speak at the hearing. Just tick the No box. Your input won't be any the less valuable.
The council proposes to introduce a system of 9 councillors from 9 wards. That might look good on the surface, but it's not. It's far worse than the previous system. People will only be able to vote for and communicate with 1 councillor, their ward councillor, no-one else.A one-ninth share in local governance. If you don't get on with your ward councillor, well, too bad. You cannot go to anyone else. Residents will be shut up and shut out! If you don't want this tell the council on the online form.
There is a better method available, but you have to ask for it. What was called Option 2 in the feedback survey would provide 1 ward with `10 councillors and general roll electors would be able to vote for and communicate with 9 of them. Much better! This system was the run away public favourite in the feedback survey but the council ignored the people's choice and substituted another system, its own, that wasn't even offered up in the survey.
Also, in one line the council dismissed the right for residents to have community boards - OUR community boards. A place where we could have OUR say about local matters. Boards have statutory powers and the capacity to promote local well-being in a way that no other community organisation has the power to do.There are over 100 community boards in NZ but Tauranga councils have persistently refused to allow them to be established here.
Do this: complete the council's online form and insist upon Option 2 being used and demand that community boards be established. Opposition to autocratic council control starts with your submission.

Meet Hinerangi Busby who shares her journey with Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi.
I am a graduate of the marae-centred programme, Te Pouhono, transforming Māori communities, promoting mātauranga-a-hapū, a-iwi. My participation took me to the Bachelor of Mātauranga Māori, and then postgraduate study.
Awanuiārangi centres you. This is the nurturing space of Māori researchers, with the support of academic and professional staff; this all transpires from an authentic indigenous and traditional Māori environment.
My studies have empowered me to play a more pro-active role in whānau and hapū affairs. Instead of being angry at a past that we cannot change, let’s become part of the solution for positive change.
