Background Information: The Council unanimously voted in favour of declaring a Biodiversity Emergency on 18th July 2019; and this included a commitment to reducing and removing the need to use herbicides on highway verges, roads, and pavements, and to find viable and effective unwanted vegetation control alternatives.
