Ban urban and garden pesticides to protect bees, other wildlife and human health - Final Signatures: 53,906

Ban the use of pesticides in urban areas & end their sale for use in gardens. There is simply no need to spray poisons in our streets, parks & gardens for cosmetic purposes, where they harm bees & other wildlife & pose a risk to human health. Safe alternatives are available, where necessary.

The Government responsed to this petition on 19th August 2021 (View Full Response)
The Government is committed to supporting alternatives to chemical pest control and recently consulted on a National Action Plan to minimise the risks and impacts associated with pesticides.
