We call on DEFRA, to reinstate the ban on the use of metaldehyde slug pellets.

Petition Details

The government has conceded that its decision making process was flawed and has overturned the ban on metaldehyde slug pellets. We now call on the government to urgently follow the correct decision making process to ensure a ban on the use of metaldehyde pellets is put in place as soon as possible.

Additional Information

In December 2018 DEFRA ruled to withdraw from the market all products containing metaldehyde with immediate effect with their use on farms banned from 2020.

In July 2019 the government conceded that its decision-making process had been flawed and the decision was withdrawn.

Barry Action for Nature is a wildlife conservation group centred in the town of Barry in South Wales. We need your support in order to put pressure on the government to protect our struggling wildlife and water supplies.
