Monmouthshire County Council Proposed Pollinator Policy

An excellent proposal is being considered by our local Council to reduce roadside verge cutting and to create more bee and pollinator friendly planting schemes.  Road safety will always remain their first consideration.  At a Council meeting last week, a petition with 120 signatures against the Proposed Pollinator Policy was presented.

Bees for Development is backing the policy and requests your support to ensure that the Policy is implemented.  Please help in one of these ways:

1.      Sign our online petition: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/bee-friendly-monmouthshire

2.      Send an e-mail, individually or on behalf of your organisation, to Councillor Phil Hobson.  It is important to do this by 4 February. e-mail is philhobson at monmouthshire.gov.uk

You can read the proposed policy and download a letter in PDF at http://www.beesfordevelopment.org/how-to-help/campaigns.

There is a possibility that this Proposal will not go ahead, so please express your support and encourage other people in your network to do so.

Monmouthshire has a real chance to prove its commitment to caring for pollinators.  We hope that other local authorities will follow their good example.

Thank you

Nicola
