Telling you what you want to hear...

April 2026

Most politicians and councillors are experts here, especially if they want your vote  

BUT If you ask ‘ Is Glyphosate still being used in my community?’

Listen very carefully to these well worded reassuring answers.

‘phasing it out,’

‘we aim to’

‘we are reducing ‘

‘we rely on…’

 ‘ all our green areas’

 ‘ we are trialing safe alternatives’

 ‘can’t afford to change’

Churned out year after year after year…

Designed to reassure and end further conversation on the topic …

Unfortunately the uncomfortable truth is hiding behind these flowery excuses, excuses that just don’t hold anymore

* there ARE safe alternatives available

* Safe alternatives if used correctly work out CHEAPER

* Safe alternatives can LOWER weed COMPLAINTS

* Safe alternatives CAN be used on all areas , even delicate surfaces

* CAN tackle full variety of weeds and moss

* Trials HAVE been successful

* CAN be used year round

* CAN be used in all weathers

* CAN work effectively in hard to reach areas

* When used correctly councils find safe alternatives are a GOOD INVESTMENT

* CAN be used for other tasks bus shelter and sign cleaning

* Glyphosate is KNOWN to be harmful to health and environment

* Residents have raised health concerns

Glyphosate is still being purchased

Glyphosate is still being applied…
