I was idly reading our local newsletter at lunchtime. In between the garage door /new kitchen type adverts was the news that our town council has declared itself pesticide-free! It will stop using pesticides and reduce mowing etc to help pollinators. It is also going to produce a pesticide-free gardening guide for residents and run a kerbside pesticide amnesty so people can dispose of pesticides and weed killers. Good things do happen in Newton Abbot!
