We have spotted through the fence of the boundary to Urnfield, a large amount of discarded waste. The waste chemical container is labelled ‘Mascot’. If this is Mascot systemic chemical for treating earthworms, it is highly toxic to humans and wildlife.. This is located to where we know there is badger activity and the lid handle appears to be worn away.
Mascot when sprayed is harmful to honey bees, and so if the grounds staff are still using it, it would be harmful to insects around and in the wild meadows below the field.
