Subject: Re: LGOIMA - 8140002601 -proposed fireworks ban

Dear Auckland Council,

The SPCA were invited to present, could I request all communications between Auckland Council and SPCA please regarding fireworks between 2015> now.

All information regarding fireworks complaints recieved by both counciliors who are reported to have supported the call to ban fireworks.

"Albert-Eden-Roskill councillor Cathy Casey, who co-sponsored the original motion with Manukau councillor Efeso Collins, said in August the council would use its required public safety nuisance bylaw consultation with to ask about people about a firework sale ban." details of original motion including all communication.

Is Cathy Casey a member of "Ban the Boom" and has she posted on their pages regarding firework sales ban?

Has the cultural significance and the human rights act been taken into account, all information please.

all communication to the firework industry, prior to the meeting?

Yours sincerely,

James Lochead
