Stop using dangerous pesticides in our towns and parks

Across the country 38 Degrees members are taking a stand against the use of dangerous pesticides in our parks and towns.

Right now, dangerous pesticides are regularly sprayed on parks across the UK. This could be posing serious health risks to us eating and playing in our parks. It also threatens a variety of bees and other wildlife.

But people are pushing back. Just recently Brighton and Hove Council voted unanimously to ban all glyphosates. Campaigns to have the same happen in towns and cities across the UK are springing up everywhere. Would you like to join in?

Are you concerned about the use of dangerous pesticides in your area? If so you can start a campaign to stop the use of these pesticides here. Why not get in touch with other anti-pesticides campaigners from around the country to swap tips on how to win your campaign?

  • Ban Dangerous Pesticides in Haslemere and surrounding villages
    The use of glyphosates has already been banned or restricted in 8 countries. It is not acceptable that ourselves, our children and the animals we share our community with are being routinely exposed to these chemicals whether we like it or not. This is a matter of great importance for those of us who care about each other's health and the health of our children, our cats, our dogs and all the flora and fauna of this city, of course including our beloved bees. Frensham Parish Council has successfully banned glyphosate and there have been no issues with excessive weeds! Let’s also help to bring our biodiversity back! Surrey County council (Highways) contracts Waverley Borough Council to spray glyphosate on our street verges, round houses, schools, playing fields and churches. Therefore we are concerned about children exposed to this proven carcinogenic herbicide. We at the Haslemere Transition group would welcome unsprayed wildflower verges as an alternative; safe havens for pollinators and insects as well as bee friendly planting in public spaces.
