Unbelievable - weed spraying cowboys

Karen from Totara Vale

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes...the council weed spraying contractor actually fired the wand from within his vehicle as he drove past my house. I have CCTV so I have the footage.
He was in like a little golf cart with tanks on the back and just fired!
I'm just Gobsmacked.
So here's the mighty Auckland Council who don't even think we have a right to know they're spraying us so no forewarning and trying to tell us their contractors are trained and certified and bla bla and then I see that. It was about 0830 this morning when the kids were coming to school at Target Road.
If I hadn't seen that and took my dog for a walk...you get my point.
We need to get these people under control. Never mind the weeds!
