Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) in Ōrewa has been looking for new premises ever since their offices, next to Ōrewa Community Hall, were deemed unsafe following a leak through the roof onto the light fittings (HM February 20).
With commercial rentals out of the question, and needing to stay in Ōrewa, it has taken a while to find the right spot but, a couple of weeks ago, CAB moved into a space in St Chad’s Anglican Church on the corner of Centreway Rd and Florence Ave.
Manager of the branch, Tanya Gouws, says they will be there “for the foreseeable future” until they hear back from Council on the plan for the roof repair.
“We are very grateful to St Chad’s for welcoming us so warmly,” Tanya says.
CAB’s ‘face to face’ office hours at the new location are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 12.30pm-3pm. Or by phone, 0800 367 222, 09 426 5338, Monday to Friday, 9.30am-3pm. Email hibiscuscoast@cab.org.nz
CAB Hibiscus Coast are also trialling a ‘Chat to CAB’ initiative on Wednesday mornings from 10am to 12noon at Whangaparāoa Library. Should this service be well supported, it may be extended to other mornings too.
