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've seen council spraying around here - it's an absolute disgrace.
They did some very expensive landscaping in front of some shops here
(not a bad job either) Then their spray operatives proceeded to kill
everything in the beds within a couple of seasons.
They are supposed to have received a rigorous training course (And the
one I did many years ago was) and should hold a certificate of their
competence (PA1 and PA6 are the minimum they should have, followed by
a period of close supervision while spraying). The guys I saw were a
bunch of numpties who shouldn't have been anywhere near spraying work.
So go after the council as hard as you can. As well as the operatives,
there are supervisors, managers and trainers failing to do their jobs
properly - they all need holding to account
