Little As One Week Between Aerial Sprays

Press Release: West Aucklanders Against Aerial Spraying


There Could Be As Little As One Week Between Aerial Sprays From Now On

I heard today that MAF told a meeting of teachers and early childhood managers this week that a delay in the start of one spray round would NOT delay the start of the next.
People need to know that going on past experience when sprays have been delayed sometimes up to 2 weeks, that there could be as little as ONE WEEK between sprays from now on.
