More seek advice
More Christchurch people' are taking their personal problems to the Citizens’ Advice Bureau. 1 In-the two months from; March 28 to May 20 the bureau received 2322 calls, compared with 1390 at the; similar time last year. The organiser (Mrs J. Lunn) says there was an increase in the ‘‘weighty problems.”! Requests for general infer-j mation had remained static. I Although more than 90 per cent of the calls were by ; telephone, 223 people callecL in to the centre. Mrs Lunn| said that 70 per cent of the inquiries were from women, ;but there was a slight ini crease too in the number of inquiries from males. “There has been an in-j crease in the number of I people with problems with I neighbours,” she said. “The! disputes have probably been simmering for years.” Mrs Lunn said she was pleased that more people were seeking advice from the bureau, and attributed it ! to increased advertising in the suburbs, in buses and on the radio. “We are now widely accepted,” she said.
