I had a decorator in about a year ago who relined & painted the walls – now the lining paper appears to be coming away in a couple of places about 40-60cm long, not near to the windows, see pic – what does this mean? is the wall damp? Thanks for any advice

Didn’t use enough paste or didn’t let it soak long enough would be my guess.
As Motties says, maybe not enough paste or possibly didn't size the walls first.
Just buy some paste, mix it up and then re-stick it down again. Make sure you wipe off any that squeezes out to the surface, otherwise it may stain.
