Carpet layer

Peter from Mount Maunganui

We had new carpet laid in the house a couple of months ago - a visitor dropped some fried eggs on it about two weeks later and it has left a stain. We have had professional cleaners come in twice to try and fix but the stain won’t come out.

My question is we have a small amount of carpet left over from the install is it possible to install a patch and would this show? If it is possible and you are a carpet layer I would happily pay for a repair

Stop the Fast Track Mining Bill

Sue from Mount Maunganui

Join the march against the further destruction of our native bush, animals and surrounds. We talk about being environmentally aware and the govt ask us to 'recycle' and stop the single use of plastic bags ! Meantime the building industry is still allowed to wrap entire multistory buildings in non decomposable plastic. Yes folks, meters and meters of this stuff is already in our landfill and leeching into our ocean.

Creativity thrives in Tauranga’s new learning hub

NZ Lotto

Tauranga’s Incubator Creative Hub unveils new campus

In the heart of Tauranga's creative landscape, what began as a small studio space has now blossomed into a vibrant and expansive creative hub thanks in part to lottery funding support from Te Puna Tahua Lottery Grants Board. The Incubator Creative Hub was established at The Historic Village in 2013, with an aim to provide studios and events, support for the creatives in the community, and to attract art groups.

Within a few years of opening, the founders of the Hub saw a huge appetite from the community – but the hub operated in a single room which could only accommodate a small group comfortably. Lotto New Zealand players through Local Grants have helped create the ‘Creative Community Campus’ - a new multi-room, indoor-outdoor haven established in a renovated pre-school building, adding a modern and versatile space.

The Hub now operates an umbrella of sixteen distinct creative entities including five galleries, a music venue, a whakairo hub, artist studios, a photography lab, designer clothing stores and a hip hop/R&B studio. With one hundred percent of Lotto New Zealand profits being returned to local communities, every time you play a Lotto New Zealand game, you’re a Kiwi helping organisations like The Incubator Creative Hub foster a strong, inclusive, and connected community.
