A DRIVE to combat ecological and climate change has led to a change of policy and practice in Warminster.
The town council has introduced new ‘green’ policies and procedures in the Lake Pleasure Grounds and other areas.
As part of the drive to reduce pesticide use to a minimum, the town council is trialling four alternative methods to control weeds: manual weeding, mulching, vinegar/acid based solutions and annual flower mix planting.
The town council has also taken delivery of an electric-powered mower and electric-powered utility vehicles.
Both will be used in the Lake Pleasure Grounds and at other town council-managed sites in Warminster.
