Committee on Public Petitions

Consideration of Public Petition on a Ban on Herbicides in Public Areas: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. James Callery:

On the alternative treatments we are looking at for the management of weeds growing at the edges of paths and roads, the two we are trialling are mechanical removal with brushes, which works well somewhere like the port access road that does not have cars parked on it and the sweeping truck can get up and down it with ease; and Foamstream, which is a mixture of hot water and organic oils to kill off weeds.
