Weeds make an area look uncared for, and so they need dealing with.

When I started campaigning in Podsmead there were weeds all across the ward. I reported them to the council as often as I came across them and they were sprayed over the summer.

Unfortunately the treatment did not take so well due to the intermittent wet weather we had over the summer.

The council have now realised that this issue needs to be dealt with properly and have contracted a machine called Weedo to do this.

I reported a long list of areas where I knew there were still weeds and I am pleased to see that they have been done.

If you know of any weeds in your street please let me know by commenting below or send me an email to Sebastian.field@gloucester.gov.uk.
