Dog Owners Beware! DO NOT walk up the Maitai this morning - Thursday 16th September

Paul & Marie from Maitai

I spoke with the Nelmac spraying team this morning. They are out spraying Roundup around the trees in the Maitai. I asked if the spray is harmful to our dogs and was told it is harmful for 2-3 hours 🙁 Please avoid this area this morning if you are walking your dogs. I am really angry that there is no signage left out warning us. One of the two employees I spoke with told me they are a dog owner, is only doing their job and to phone the council 🙁 (The white sign in the picture was being carried rather than left on the footpath).


Update...spoke to Nelmac who were really helpful and expressed surprise that there was no signage. They assured me they will be investigating immediately.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?
