Poll: Do you support council turning on splashpads in the drought?

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from Auckland Stuff

All seven council-owned splashpads across Tāmaki Makaurau will be open over the summer, despite water restrictions in place due to the drought.

Meanwhile, locals will be pinged for using a hose without the correct nozzle.

The council says splashpads recycle a high percentage of water, and the centres themselves have made significant water savings in the last nine months.

UoA Hayfever Study - Participants Needed

Sethmi from Royal Oak

Kia ora everyone,

My name is Sethmi, and I am a student at the University of Auckland. I am conducting a study under the guidance of the Ear Nose and Throat team at the university. We are looking to see the benefit of a nasal spray adaptor in improving symptoms of allergic rhinitis, commonly known as hayfever, compared to a standard nasal spray. This study involves using 2 different nasal spray devices, and online questionnaires. This study does not require any in-person appointments.

Please see the attached flyer for more information and eligibility criteria. In addition to this, please not that you are not eligible if you currently experience asthma and/or take asthma medication.

If you are interested in participating, please email me at sran718@aucklanduni.ac.nz for more information.

Thank you for your interest in our study, I look forward to hearing from you!

Kind regards,
Sethmi
