Dear Ms Tizard

West Aucklanders Against Aerial Spraying are holding an Anti Aerial Spraying Protest March on Saturday 29 March, assembling 11.00 am corner Hopetoun St and Ponsonby Rd. Marchers will proceed up Ponsonby Rd to your office.

WASP will be calling on the government to stop the spraying immediately, ahead of a planned government review of the spray programme due to take place in April. We would like to present to you recent Reports on the health effects from the spraying, and will be asking you to vote to stop the spraying until the Ministry of Health's proposed Health Study proves the spray is safe.

Yours sincerely Helen Wiseman-Dare Chairperson, WASP (West Aucklanders Against Aerial Spraying) Ph: 09 827 2516
