From: Megan Pledger

Dear Wellington City Council,

What sprays has the WCC been using in public areas to get rid of weeds, or for other reasons, over the last 2 years (1 August 2016-13 August 2018)?

If this work has been contracted out to other organisations then what sprays have they been using in public areas to get rid of weeds, or for other reasons, over the last 2 years (1 August 2016-13 August 2018)?

Where can I obtain safety and health information about those sprays?

Yours faithfully,

Megan Pledger
