Tenants want action on damp Christchurch social housing units

Nice Place Property Management Ltd

The state of these units is not okay. It is incredibly important for both landlords and tenants to ensure the property is kept warm. But in this situation, where the tenants are putting in the effort by removing condensation and using dehumidifiers, something else needs to be done.

Location: Programme Rooms, Te Ahumairangi (ground floor), National Library, corner Molesworth and Aitken Streets, Thorndon


Come and hear Ann Packer talk about her planned biography of New Zealand textile artist Malcolm Harrison in this Friends of the Turnbull Library event.

Extraordinary creative talent
Malcolm Harrison (1941-2007) was a textile artist of extraordinary creative talent, whose work has been collected by most New Zealand galleries and cultural institutions.

It is his artworks that soar above Parliament’s Galleria. The documentation of the often controversial process behind this installation is held by the Alexander Turnbull Library.

About the speaker
Ann Packer, a freelance writer, editor and oral historian, is planning to write a biography of Malcolm Harrison. She is the author of the bestselling Random House book, Crafty Girls’ Road Trip (reprinted twice, new edition in 2012), as well as the prize-winning book Stitch: New Zealand Textile Artists (2006).

If you've noticed a missed call from a number you don't recognise (particularly international numbers), it is important that you don't call this number back and consider reporting this as a potential scam.

Phone companies are advising customers to reject these calls and if you have friends or family living overseas, it is recommended to have their numbers added as contacts in your mobile phone, so you can identify when they are calling you.
