A council worked arrived at my garden 30th July on a windy day and
sprayed
glyphosate randomly about by the look of it
My herbs and flowers were the first to show damage and some flowers
look like they are completely dead.
I caught all of the spraying on CCTV and sent it to the council.
The man I spoke to said that the spray only kills weeds and will not
affect my veg
He then said it was safe to eat my veg because the department that are
responsible said it was sprayed on the path
How do I get the dead plants tested for the weed killer ?
I think his advise was not very good and I did use some sage that had
been sprayed the same day and my gums were bleeding when I brushed them
at bedtime
I had a swollen gum for a few days
Citizens advice have given me an appointment, so I'll have to wait and
see if anything can be done




I suggest you write to the council and state what happened. Make clear what
damage was caused and what exactly you expect the Council to do. Presumably
you want financial compensation for the plants. If so, let them know how
much you want.

If they get a claim for a modest/reasonable amount then they are more likely
to pay it just to get shot of you. A routine third party claim in their
eyes. I would leave out your bleeding gums unless you have proof.
If you don't put a price on your complaint, what can they do? They arn't
going to make an offer.
