Spraying weedkiller without notifying residents

Reported via mobile in the Other Highways issue category anonymously at 17:37, Monday 21 April 2025

Sent to Shropshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 14175637.

Weedkiller is regularly sprayed along the roads, and pathways on the playing fields, where residents walk their dogs and children play- there is no notification that this has/will occur, allowing children,pets and residents to be exposed to the sprays.

The verge along Fernhill Avenue is teeming with wildflowers and pollinators but regularly sprayed. Please could the Council refrain from spraying weedkiller around my home and neighbourhood? There is no acceptable reason to spray weedkiller now that we are all aware of the devastating crash in insect and wild bird populations.
