Hexham Space for Nature project Hexham Hoedown launched

A new project which aims to rid the streets of Hexham of the weedkiller Glyphosate has been launched. ‘Hexham Hoedown’, which has been launched by Hexham Space for Nature, will see volunteers clean their streets so that Northumberland County Council don’t need to spray Glyphosate. Council practice has been to selectively spray, where there is weed growth, hardstanding areas of public open space twice a year with Glyphosate, which Hexham Space for Nature group members claim is linked to a number of environmental and health problems. So far, 18 groups of residents covering 23 streets have signed up to take part, and some groups have already been out with their hoes and brushes.

LETTER: Inspirational youngsters care about climate

Photo: Bejamin Nicholls I enjoyed some inspiring presentations by young people from Hexham in last Saturday’s Hexham Debate, ‘Climate Crisis: Young Person’s perspective’ organised with Tynedale Transformed.  Great insights from the local to the global perspective with an audience of all ages and worth another watch.  I think we all wholeheartedly agree that local action is needed. Long-established, local environmental group ‘Transition Tynedale’ was wrongly credited with organising the event, (Courant, January 28).  We do however form part of the solution and have been working on various local projects for the last ten years.  Current projects centre on increasing biodiversity on private and public land and reducing food miles.
