Many new builds are opting for hardwood or synthetic carpets, ignoring the homegrown options. Bremworth launched a $2 million marketing campaign this week, aiming to remind Kiwis of the high-quality woollen options we have in this country.

He said that they need to make sure people are aware

Independent commissioners looked at the application, as sent to the local councils, and turned it all down. They are now off to the Environment Court. One of the owners of Northport is Tauranga
