Vale gets heavy with the toxic herbicide

 Vale gets heavy with the herbicide. Glyphosate is a toxic herbicide used to kill weeds. 

It is a widely used herbicide linked to cancer

The World Health Organization's research arm declares glyphosate a probable carcinogen,

FOE  have researched 
the dangers of its use. 
The Vale had current and future pesticide objectives which were outlined as below: 
Once magnificent with flowers 
  • To stop the use of pesticides - wherever possible
  • To minimise / reduce use of pesticides
  • To use alternative methods - wherever possible
  • To continually assess methods.
However the Vale of Glamorgan Labour Council Still use it ...lots ....'With regard to the use of glyphosate, 
the Parks Department usage per annum for pesticides was around 150 litres approximately.  Of this, approximately 80 litres were glyphosate based' But was it really necessary to use it on the roundabout to remove a lttle grass and a single marigold planted by guerrilla gardeners?
