CAB moves into Pukekohe

Sapeer Mayron Reporter from Franklin County News

Thanks to local demand, the Citizens Advice Bureau has moved into Hall Street in Pukekohe this month.

After years of locals heading to Papakura for help across consumer rights, legal responsibilities, money and more, Pukekohe families have a branch right in town.

Two years in the making, the move is all about making CAB services more accessible to Franklin residents, manager Judy Boyd said.

Services are confidential and free, and consultations are held with fully trained volunteers who can give advice or help with paperwork or documentation.

The branch will run from 10am until 3pm and eventually extend its hours as demand grows. There will be two staff and a coordinator on site, with more volunteer recruitment on the horizon.

Boyd said the CAB aims to make sure people don't suffer just because they don't necessarily know their rights or responsibilities, or can't say what they need effectively.

The new Pukekohe CAB branch is at 3a Hall Street.
