The council  stated Foamstream was not viable  ‘ . This FOI submitted to find out exactly why … 














Many councils around the the world and even UK have proven , that safe alternatives work out more cost effective than glyphosate and is not only are safe but can lower weed complaints if used correctly.

Edinburgh Councils recent FOI response reveals they actually have no substantial evidence to support their claim …!!


Opinion rather than fact has been used to determine where OUR public funds are allocated and how our weeds are removed effectively.


Plenty of money  £200,000 per year

-2016 Transport Environment Committee

has been spent to apply  Glyphosate..


Plenty of ££££££ to spend on applying toxic chemicals but none for Safe Alternatives?
