Glyphosate-based herbicides in use
I would like to know which glyphosate-based herbicides are currently used by, or on behalf of, the council on Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) that are owned by, managed by, or under the control of the council.
Please can you provide the data for the most recent 12-month period for which the information is available.
Please can you also specify the amount and brand of each glyphosate-based herbicide in question, as well as the size of the area over which they are used.
No use of Glyphosate in any of our SSSI Sites in Thurrock over the last 12 months.

If you remain unhappy following the outcome of your Internal Review you may wish to refer your case to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and details of this organisation can be found at www.ico.org.uk . Please be advised that the ICO will not consider your case until they have confirmation that you have already been through the Internal Review stage with the council.
