The Amenity Forum have released details of their upcoming free Updating Events, that are open to anyone involved in or with an interest in weed, pest and disease management within the amenity and sports sector.

John Moverley

John Moverley, independent chairman, says, "As you will all be aware there is significant policy change on the horizon which will impact upon all involved in weed, pest & disease management. Last year there was a major consultation relating to the UK National Action Plan, the release of the Official Control Order and consultation on pesticide regulation and authorisation post Brexit.

"The Amenity Forum is involved in all these discussions on an on-going basis and it is anticipated that significant announcements will be made by government in the next few months which will impact on all in the sector.
 
"In such circumstances, I do urge you to attend one of our UK Updating Events over February and March. I also urge you to encourage your colleagues, customers and associates also to do so. They are half day events and even more important than ever this year. Such events are clearly about informing you but given the impending statements on policy, they also offer you the opportunity to have your say. Defra and CRD staff will be present at most if not all these events."
