Highways Agency And Ragwort Near Shrewsbury

EDM number 2107 in 2007-08, proposed by Daniel Kawczynski on 21/07/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Animal welfare and Roads.

That this House notes the duty of the Highways Agency to effectively remove ragwort from the side of roads under its care; further notes that ragwort is poisonous to horses and spreads quickly if not checked; further notes that around Shrewsbury the Highways Agency is not fulfilling its responsibility to remove ragwort, leading to a huge spread of this dangerous weed; and urges the Highways Agency to urgently sort out this problem during August.

This motion has been signed by a total of 5 MPs.
