Letters to the Editor:- "Toxic parks in
Sefton"
"THE sun is coming out, and our parks are filling up with
children playing, but Sefton Council is spraying toxic pesticides all over our
streets and parks, just to kill weeds. The World Health Organisation has said
these chemicals, called:- 'glyphosate', “probably cause cancer”. So 38 Degrees
member Paul is campaigning to get the pesticides banned in Sefton. Several
European Cities have already banned them, and now they've been joined by:-
Edinburgh, Brighton, Aberdeen and Glastonbury in the UK too. People powered
campaigns stopped these toxic chemicals being sprayed elsewhere; a huge petition
could see Sefton become the next place to take a stand. If your readers think
toxic chemicals don't have a place on Sefton's streets, then please sign the
petition now by clicking on
here. It only takes 20 seconds." Robin,
Luke, Trish and the 38 Degrees Team
Editors note:- "We will be sending an email to
Sefton MBC about this matter to see if they have any reaction. If they do, we
will let you know as soon as we can. Please do let us know your views on this
topic, via emailing us to:-
News24@SouthportReporter.com." |
