Stop Use of Glyphosate Weedkiller in Dudley
Ban glyphosate and protect people, pets, wildlife, and the environment from toxic pesticides
We call on Dudley Council to propose to a ban on glyphosate, stop blanket spraying of our neighbourhoods, parks and schools, and rethink how we interact with nature in our towns.
Ban glyphosate-based herbicides, exposure to which has been linked to cancer in humans, and has led to ecosystems degradation; look at alternative methods of managing weeds, mow less to allow flowers and plants to thrive which benefit pollinating insects, encourage greater community involvement, with a view to achieving a pesticide-free future.
Dudley Council spend upwards of £24000 per year on pesticide spraying, and are unable to tell us what the risks of using Glyphosate are. Let's change our thinking, save money for the council, keep and children and pets safe, and allow bees and butterflies to flourish.
