Glyphosate-based herbicides used on Sites of Special Scientific Interest - Find a freedom of information request

Request

1. I would like to know which glyphosate-based herbicides are currently used by or on behalf of the council on Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) that are owned by, managed by, or under the control of the council. 

2. Please can you provide the data for the most recent 12-month period for which the information is available. 

3. Please can you also specify the amount and brand of each glyphosate-based herbicide in question, as well as the size of the area over which they are used. 

Decision

The majority of the SSSI’s owned by Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) are leased and managed by Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust (Snipedales, Gibraltar Point, Wolla Bank and Saltfleet).

It therefore hold no information. LCC manages SSSI’s at Saltfleet and Chapel Point to Wolla Bank and no herbicide has been used at these sites for more than ten years.
