Bury Council’s weed treatment programme is back on track following a problematic year during 2023 when overly wet and windy conditions caused weed growth to surge and delayed treatment.
Treatment of weeds is expected to get back on track in September following a washout summer which has delayed the usual control programme.
A new ’green’ way of killing weeds with hot water rather than glyphosate has been ordered by the council.
Bury Council has called an immediate halt to the use of glyphosate herbicides used in children’s play areas to control weeds.
