FOI request (FOIR-151790334)

Poisonous Chemicals

Requested Mon 21 October 2019
Responded Fri 25 October 2019

Please inform me the composition of the Spray used on the areas sprayed with poisonous chemicals in The Speckled Wood Estate There is an illegal Notice that only advises that Spraying has taken place.

I am very concerned that is the Sprayed chemicals reach the Waters in Alexandra Park The very rare Fresh Water Mussels will be affected.  I do know the Gentleman who moved the Mussels to their present position whilst he was working for the Council and I will get him to check as soon as you supply us with the formula.

Response

Hastings Borough Council has not authorised anyone to carry out weed spraying in the Speckled Wood area therefore hold no information in respect of this request.
