Clean up the A320 St Peter's Way · petition

What the petition asks

We believe that fly-tipping of corrosive substances, considerable household refuse build-up and human fouling has led to the contamination of topsoil in agricultural land neighbouring the A320.

Human fouling, refuse build up and fly tipping of corrosive substances is a systemic issue along this busy dual carriage way. Due to the lack of inaction on the council’s part, this issue is now impacting local agricultural land where cattle graze.

An investigation into the contamination of topsoil on agricultural land due to human fouling and corrosive substances is underway with Surrey Environment Agency, but we need long term solutions and action NOW.
