BILL
to
This bill would ban the use of plant protection products (pesticides and herbicides) by all public sector organisations in the UK, including local councils, NHS trusts, schools, and government departments. The ban would apply to grounds maintenance, parks, sports facilities, and other public land management. The bill aims to reduce pesticide use in public spaces, potentially lowering chemical exposure for residents and supporting environmental protection, particularly for pollinators and other wildlife.
