# Pest / Vermin, 48 Sparks Road, Hoon Hay, Christchurch 8025, New Zealand

Hoon Hay, Christchurch · filed 17 February 2024 · report 4298876
https://www.chch.live/report/4298876

> Old Man's Beard, a pest plant, is growing alongside the council maintained pathway. I first reported this to the council by phone in 2022, then by Snap Send Solve on 18 March 2023 (3174020) and on 16 May 2023 (3343184). In spite of that, this pest is still flourishing, and I have had no response to my Snap Send Solves. Can somebody please do something about this before it spreads even further. Thank you.
