I WAS passing along North Parade at Hoylake this morning and noticed a tractor being driven along the foreshore with an agricultural spraying attachment connected to the back.
The driver was most probably spraying a pesticide or herbicide (most likely the former, given the number of flies present at that part of the beach).
My concern is that a number of parents of pre-school children take their young ones to sit and play on the sands there, and as they will undoubtedly be coming into contact with chemicals, it constitutes a possible health hazard.
