Glyphosate Ban in Croydon

14 January 2023

Croydon Council to end the use of glyphosate in parks and green spaces (December 5th, 2018)

Croydon Council has given its citizens an early Christmas present by committing to end the use of the controversial weed killer glyphosate in all of it public parks and green spaces.

At a full council meeting on Tuesday 3rd December, in answer to a question from Councillor Nina Degrads, Councillor Stuart Collins announced that they will use the opportunity of taking the grounds maintenance contract back in-house to end the use of glyphosate as of February 2019. He also stated that they plan to train staff in new techniques and explore feasible non-chemical options. In perhaps the most heartening part of his statement, he said that this is something that Croydon Council is committed to delivering regardless of the cost.

This fantastic result has come as part of our ongoing Pesticide-Free London campaign which saw more than 400 candidates take the ‘Pesticide-Free London pledge‘ in the run up to city-wide local elections in May. The councillors in Croydon who took the pledge have lived up to their promise and helped to deliver this outcome.

Councillor Jeremy Fitzpatrick who took the Pesticide-Free London pledge said:

Croydon is home to nearly 400,000 people. It covers a huge geographic area stretching from its inner-city northern boundary with Lambeth to its leafy Surrey borders to the south. I am very proud that from February 2019 we have committed to end the use of glyphosate in our many parks and open spaces and adopt cleaner, greener non-chemical alternatives.

In the UK, Croydon now stands as the largest urban area with the highest population to commit to ending the use of glyphosate in its parks and green spaces.

Nick Mole, Policy Officer, PAN UK:

While this is incredibly welcome it is not the end of the process. It’s great that Croydon residents will soon be able to enjoy their green spaces without having to worry about toxic pesticides and PAN UK is keen to help the Council identify suitable non-chemical alternatives. However, there is also a need to end pesticide use in other public areas under council control, such as streets and housing estates. PAN UK would be delighted to work with Croydon Council over the coming months to help extend the glyphosate ban across the borough and work towards making Croydon truly pesticide-free.

Hammersmith & Fulham became the first London borough to go pesticide-free in 2016. In addition to Croydon, a number of other boroughs are considering introducing bans or significant restrictions on pesticide use as part of our Pesticide-Free London campaign.

MAKE YOURSELVES AWARE THAT ALTERNATIVES TO USING GLYPHOSATE ARE AVAILABLE IN MOST CIRUMSTANCES, EVEN AGAINST JAPANESE KNOTWEED

Japanese Knotweed Agency is the first and currently only entity that offers a non-chemical Thermo-Electrical treatment against Japanese Knotweed.

Delivering up to 5000 volts directly to the weed stalks and crowns, sends a massive destructive shock throughout the weed effectively boiling it in situ and it should decompose and leave no trace. It may take several treatments as would chemical treatment, but with thermo-electrical treatment, the ground is left 100% safe and chemical free. Treatment does not affect the ground or land or other foliage next to the treated weed.

Japanese Knotweed Agency will now offer this service across England and Wales throughout 2023 and beyond.

Treatment of weeds such as Japanese Knotweed can now be done safely, and without the use of Glyphosates, protecting our environments and the health of children and adults and wildlife, and is a massive step forward that has been needed for decades in line with Europe.

Glyphosate Ban in Colchester

14 January 2023

The use of glyphosate-based weedkillers in all general maintenance of our parks, open spaces and hedgerows will come to an end from 1 April 2021.

The use of herbicides has a significant impact on the environment by removing plants that are an important source of food for a variety of native insects. This move supports the commitments to protect our environment in the climate emergency declaration we agreed in 2019.

The use of glyphosate for routine weed management is now banned across all our parks and open spaces, play parks, around West Mersea beach huts, closed churchyards, as well as the highway verges we look after.

An exception will be made for the treatment of some invasive species such as Japanese Knotweed and Giant Hogweed, which are a serious threat to biodiversity. With these invasive species, the chemical is ‘safely’ injected into the plant, says the Council. Albeit, this was early in 2021 before the news that Japanese Knotweed can be dealt with by non-chemical means through Thermo-Electrical treatment and is available from the Japanese Knotweed Agency

Japanese Knotweed Agency would like to ask the Council to qualify how Glyphosate can be injected ‘safely’ into Japanese Knotweed? The extensive root system spreads far and wide, and injecting Glyphosate weed killer into Knotweed requires it to be injected in most stems, which then allows the Glyphosate to run through the weed and roots and ultimately end up far and wide within the soil and can stay there for years. Who knows the effects down the line, and when it rains, where does the Glyphosate travel to? Asks Alan Hoey, Managing Director of the Japanese Knotweed Agency.

These changes are being made to encourage greater biodiversity in our green spaces. Part of this work includes changes to the grass cutting regime in areas around Castle Park to create wildflower verges. These steps all benefit pollinators and other insects, which are hugely important to our eco-system, including the regulation of the natural environment and the food system.

Glyphosate ban call for Chichester, West Sussex

13 January 2023

Chichester is another constituency that is highlighting the massive problem with the use of Glyphosate and wants to stop its use across the region. Chichester is a Roman cathedral city and the only city in West Sussex.

Preservation of wildlife, flora & fauna, trees & woodlands still remain of historic beauty which locals & many tourists appreciate. The use of harmful pesticides is creating a major impact on the environment. Alongside Councillors , the local residents of Chichester have shown their concerns for the future of the community as Glyphosate proves to not only harm the wildlife but is now considered carcinogenic & toxic to humans effectively causing cancers & tumours.

According to the International Agency of Research for Cancer (IARC) Glyphosate is said to be carcinogenic causing cancers & tumours in humans. It is already banned in Europe & now many Councils are choosing against using Glyphosate in public places. The World Health Organisation found that Glyphosate, which is found in most herbicides including the global renowned weedkiller RoundUp, is ‘probably carcinogenic to humans’.

Minutes from the meeting relating to the use of Glyphosate are highlighted further down in this post in red.

Measure Number Three – Pesticide Free City

We note that:

(i) The Property Team has already terminated its using of Glyphosate based weedkillers and is experimenting with natural weedkillers.

(ii) We would like to congratulate the Property Manager on limiting the use of dangerous chemicals which could endanger the health of the City Council employees and the wider public.

(iii) We recommend to the Council that the Property Manager coordinates with his County and District Colleagues to reduce the use of pesticides in the city more widely.

(iv) We recommend the City Council joining the Pesticide Free Towns Network for a healthier environment for our citizens.

The Network of Pesticide Free Towns envisions a world where the use of pesticides is minimized and replaced with sustainable alternatives, hence, the health of citizens and the environment is safeguarded, biodiversity is enhanced and an improved quality of life is achieved.

To achieve this vision, we would encourage Chichester City Council to pledge to continue to adhere to appropriate policies and measures to ensure the following objective(s) are reached:

Ban the use of herbicides in public areas under city’s control
Ban the use of all pesticides in public areas under city’s control
Help to extend the ban of pesticides to private areas with public access and agricultural areas next to where citizens live
Step up and support the greening efforts towards local biodiversity enhancement already being championed by Transition Chichester under the direction of Mrs Mary Iden.

In order to put into effect, the pesticide free vision for the Chichester we would commit specifically to:

Develop and promote a campaign aimed at informing citizens about the transition to become pesticide-free, and the reasons for it; encourage citizens to actively support the transition by promoting the use of sustainable alternatives in private gardens and allotments
Communicate with and involve all stakeholders (County and District Council employees and sub-contractors, local farmers, etc).
Increase local biodiversity through municipal and citizen-driven activities

Alternative non-chemical treatments are available.

Glyphosate Ban in Cambridge

20 December 2022

Councillors have stopped short of committing to a firm timeframe to end the use of herbicides for weed control in Cambridge.

An example of the impact of herbicide spraying in Wulfstan Way, Cambridge Picture: Keith Heppell

Liberal Democrat Cllr Katie Porrer called on Cambridge City Council to commit to making two wards completely herbicide-free immediately as a trial, with the intention of terminating its use by the end of 2022.

But her motion to the full council on Thursday (July 22) was amended by the leading Labour group to commit to “explore the potential” for a trial.

Cllr Porrer also called for the authority to alert residents when herbicides have been used: “I live in a terrace house in Market with no front garden. And it was only seven days after the council had sprayed the green outside my front door that I realised.

“In the meantime, I’d been putting out my milk bottles and bringing them in, putting them in my fridge and on my table – and my daughter had been doing handstands outside the house, touching these chemicals. This must be happening to so many other families across the city, and it’s not acceptable and people have a right to know, and plan to avoid this.”

She pointed out that 500 people had signed a Pesticide-Free Cambridge petition to stop usage across the city, as highlighted by the Cambridge Independent. Now signed by more than 3,500

“This motion is just the beginning – focusing on eliminating the day-to-day and blanket destruction of wildlife across our streets, verges and paths, using herbicide,” Cllr Porrer concluded.

Labour’s Cllr Alex Collis, executive member for open spaces, sustainable food and community wellbeing, said the ruling group had a “shared vision” and that she was already working with officers to identify two areas where the council could run a herbicide-free trial.

Cllr Collis, who added that the council was already trialling the use of a foam treatment machine as an alternative solution, said: “There’s a lot of potential here to make a really positive difference for our environment and our amendment sets out the additional practical steps that will help to achieve council approved aims, without altering them.”

Julia Shaw and Ben Greig, of Pesticide-Free Cambridge, said in a statement after the meeting: “We are delighted that the motion has been passed, although Labour’s amendments have removed much of the clarity and force of the original proposal which is disappointing.

“For example, with regards the timeline for trialling alternatives and phasing out herbicides across the city, references to ‘commitment’ have been replaced by more vague terms such as ‘explore’ and ‘assess’ which raises the risk of further causes of delay, something that we have been highlighting over the last 14 months as a major contradiction to the council’s 2019 declaration of a Biodiversity Emergency.

“However, even with these amendments, we are happy that in the passing of this motion we now have, in principle, a statement of intent from the council to explore herbicide-free alternatives for weed control in two wards before the next spraying season of this year (September 2021), with the view to stopping all herbicide-use across the city by the end of 2022.

“This is the first time we’ve seen any date at all, having been asking for a timeline for over a year, and so this in itself is a major improvement on the previous stalemate.

A major problem surrounding this decision is that these insidious weeds can be found everywhere & the previous spraying of Glyphosate was the typical treatment used for eradicating weeds including Japanese Knotweed. It was carried out over a period of years (5/10 years), during this consistent treatment Glyphosate has been sprayed in public areas where the soil is now highly contaminated by the chemical & there has not been any research to prove the duration that the chemical is still present.

“We will continue to work with all concerned to try to hold the council to this position, and to ensure it implements its intention to pre-warn residents about spraying schedules, and to put up appropriate signage. This is something we’ve been suggesting for years as a minimum step towards reducing residents’ direct exposure to toxic glyphosate during the five to 10 days that it takes for plant die-off to occur.

“Further, we hope that by raising public concern amongst residents who may have been previously unaware this was even going on, such measures may also help to bring forward the end-of-2022 target for eliminating herbicide-use across the city.”
The motion was beaten by 19 votes to 12, with the Labour amendment passed unanimously.

Glyphosate ban in Bristol

15 December 2022

GREEN COUNCILLOR CALLS FOR ‘GLYPHOSATE FREE ASHLEY’ TRIAL (2015)

Local Councillor, Gus Hoyt, is calling on the Mayor to use Ashley ward to trial alternative methods to weedkillers which contain the potentially harmful chemical, glyphosate.

Councillor Gus Hoyt from Ashley ward, which includes St Pauls, Montpelier, St Werburghs and parts of St Andrews and Stokes Croft has been contacted by many local residents who are concerned about the use of glyphosate in their neighbourhood.

‘An increasing number of people with concerns about the use weedkillers which contain glyphosate have contacted me over the past few months. The majority have been parents who are worried about their children playing on or near areas which have recently been sprayed. But lots of other residents, from community food champions to foragers and gardeners, have also expressed their concerns.’ said Councillor Hoyt.

Earlier this year an agency of the World Health Organisation found that Glyphosate, which is found in most herbicides including the weedkiller RoundUp, is ‘probably carcinogenic to humans’. Green Councillors have already raised concerns with the Mayor, asking for more detailed information on how and where glyphosate is used across the city.

‘I’m sure Monsanto – with their vast economic interest in products like RoundUp – will fight claims that their product could cause cancer. Paris and the State of California have already decided to use the precautionary principle and ban the chemical after its safety was called into question. There are many safe alternatives to glyphosate-based weedkillers – many used here in the UK. I’m simply asking the Mayor to start with a trial of these more acceptable methods and compounds on the geographical area of Ashley ward. I’m a councillor for this small but important area of the city and would like the Council and its contractors to do best for the people I represent.’

When asked if all glyphosate use should be banned Cllr Hoyt replied that in some instances the experts agree on its effectiveness. ‘There are highly invasive weeds, such as Japanese knotweed, where it may be possible to argue that the use of glyphosate is necessary, but these are exceptional cases. I hope that a glyphosate free trial in Ashley would demonstrate that the alternatives to glyphosate which are used in other places could be applied to Bristol.’

Alternative non-chemical treatments are available.

Glyphosate ban in Bath and North East Somerset

13 December 2022

Permanent ban on using glyphosate weedkiller approved by councillors

Liberal Democrat councillors have approved a permanent ban on the use of glyphosate weedkiller to control weeds in streets across the area.

The controversial chemical will now only be used for dangerous, invasive weeds including Giant Hogweed and Japanese Knotweed. A major problem surrounding this decision is that these insidious weeds can be found everywhere including all public areas, schools & homes, posing a threat to locals. Typical treatment for Japanese Knotweed is carried out over a period of years (5/10 years), during this consistent treatment Glyphosate has been sprayed in an area the soil is highly contaminated by the chemical & there has not been any research to prove the duration that the chemical is still present.

The Council are looking into other alternatives to weedkiller & will prioritise for street weeds, and additional funding will be introduced for mechanical and manual weed removal from the next financial year.

Bath & North East Somerset Council says it will also research viable alternative methods of weed control and will look to work with communities to manage street weeds in some locations.

Cabinet member for Neighbourhood Services, Councillor Dave Wood, commented: “In April we will be trialling £950k of investment in frontline services from street cleaning to graffiti, from repairing roads to banning glyphosate for street weeds with immediate effect.

This will contribute to our work in response to the ecological emergency, significantly reducing the use of chemicals in our operations and providing greater flexibility in how street weeds or pavement plants are managed.

We are all proud of our area and want it to look its best. Under the Liberal Democrats we are working hard to reverse the cuts, balance our books and give residents the services they deserve.

Councillor Jess David, the Council’s member advocate for biodiversity, welcomed the move and commented: The use of herbicides has a significant impact on the environment by indiscriminately destroying plants that are an important source of food and habitat for wildlife.

As well as having the support of organisations like the Soil Association, 3,500 people have signed a petition to this Council asking that we stop the use of glyphosate on our streets.

We have stated publicly that we are facing a climate and ecological emergency, and I believe that stopping the annual street-spray is an important step in changing the way we operate.

This is great news for local biodiversity, allowing more plants to flower and offer benefits. I know this will be welcomed by the many residents that have been in touch with us on this issue.

In my role as member advocate for biodiversity I welcome other actions that the Council is taking to support local biodiversity including altering our mowing regime, identifying sites with rare species, and planting new wildflower areas.

I am also delighted to see that our Local Plan Update includes the requirement for developers to deliver a 10% net gain in biodiversity and that developer contributions may be used for biodiversity projects.

The Lib Dems are committed to addressing the Climate and Nature Emergency and to responding to the growing calls from our communities who want to see action on biodiversity and habitat restoration.

Glyphosate Ban in Bury

13 December 2022

https://www.burytimes.co.uk/news/17646808.bury-council-bans-use-cancer-linked-weed-killer-glyphosate-used-parks-playgrounds/

There has been much concern by parents in the borough of Bury. A large gathering of parents rallied together in St Mary’s Park in Prestwich to protest against the use of the harmful pesticides in parks and playgrounds.

BURY Council has called an immediate halt to the use of a chemical weed killer, Glyphosate which is still being used in children’s play areas, which has been linked to cancer.

The severity of the situation has prompted an instant ban of the pesticide, the council will deliberate in an in-depth Glyphosate council meeting next month.

Although Glyphosate is properly licensed and is used across the country by the farming industry and many others; it is also readily available in shops used by residents in their own gardens. It is also globally known as Round up. A jury in the USA this week ordered agribusiness giant Monsanto to pay more than $2 billion to a couple claiming the company’s popular weed killer, Roundup, caused their cancers.

There is debate about its safety.

In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the World Health Organisation’s cancer agency, concluded that glyphosate was “probably carcinogenic to humans”. However, several other international agencies continue to declare it as safe, and many scientific studies have found no association with cancer. However, the wider opinion is now changing as more independent reports are being made, including a report recently released in the USA that says Glyphosate is probably the reason for a massive spike in the number of children born with autism.

Check out Robert F Kennedy’s video on Glyphosate, and states some well known facts that industry may have been aware of its dangers decades ago when his grandfather was President of the USA.

Europe banned the use of Glyphosate a decade ago, in fact the British government are hoping to phase out Glyphosate in 2025.Despite the conflicting evidence, Roundup has already been banned by some local authorities across the country, with Bury now following suit.

Councilor Rishi Shori, leader of Bury Council, said: “We are aware of the recent concerns expressed over the use of glyphosate to control weeds, including a campaign and petition from a group of Bury residents.

“We take all matters relating to public health seriously, and feel it is correct to stop using glyphosate herbicide in children’s play areas pending a wider examination of the issue.

“This review will also give us the opportunity to look at what viable alternatives there are and which would best protect our bio-diversity and ecology.

“I have had a positive discussion with local campaign representatives and will be meeting them next week to discuss how we can develop a community response to the use of glyphosate in Bury.”
