Vinyl from The Flooring Centre

Elizabeth from Bryndwr

On July 5 I had new vinyl installed in my kitchen-dining-living room by The Flooring Centre. The immediate smell was revolting, and now seven weeks later it is still unpleasant. According to The Flooring Centre the smell is coming from something else in my house, and the fact that it started when the vinyl was laid is pure coincidence. I have had to hire some environmental scientists to conduct tests. Onsite they assured me the gases are coming from the vinyl, or the glue, but I have to wait for a written report. Flooring Centre is adamant that this is a coincidence. They told me to ventilate the room, and provided an industrial fan for me to use, (doors and windows wide open in single digit temperatures). Then they told me I just have a sensitive nose. The last seven weeks have been ghastly, and the end is not in sight.

Cats Still Missing - NEW TO AREA - Please keep sharing

Dowana from Northcote

Please help us find Sid and Dizzy. Missing since 10th November around Leander Street, Northcote. They snuck away after a stressful move into town, and so will likely be confused and a bit timid.
If found please contact Barbara Johnstone on 027 441 5594
We are particularly worried about Dizzy (black & white) he is older mainly a house cat and is VERY deaf : there were possible sightings of him on Joiners Ln (near Vagues Rd) not long after they went missing, but he's not been spotted since.

Please keep a look out for him. Thanks to everyone for your support.
