Hadley from Kelburn

They don't make it easy (I am trying to get them to create an online form like Auckland has) but registering not only protects your health but sends a message to the council that we don't want cancer causing poison sprayed in our community! Please share this and ask your neighbor to sign up too :) SPREAD THE WORD! Call the WCC on 044994444. It is a pain in the neck for them to add your name to the list and they need to make it easier to do so we can have SPRAY FREE STREETS in Wellington. The goal here is that the council goes back to using steam for weed control which is safe and effective.
