Campaigners in Petersfield have been protesting against the use of weedkillers by Hampshire County Council. The work is scheduled for this week.

Shine Radio's environment correspondent Beth Svarovska spoke to activist Julie Yardley who says her campaign has attracted 400 signatures to a petition.

We also hear from Hampshire County Council which says it has changed the way it kills weeds and Petersfield Town Council which has a policy to reduce the use of pesticides.
