Comments from Cllr D Taylor:

It makes a mockery of decisions reached by Full Council, particularly those supported by 100% of elected members, if their vote in favour of a Pollinator Action Plan to protect bees is undermined by a Council commitment to continue the use of glyphosate (trademarked as “RoundUp”) which research suggests is contributing to the global decline in bees, along with the loss of habitat.
