Why giant hogweed is a problem in Buckingham
On Buckingham properties, giant hogweed sap causes severe phototoxic burns and long-term light sensitivity, which makes it a genuine safety issue on footpaths, riverbanks and school boundaries. The River Great Ouse loops directly through Buckingham, and knotweed is well established along its banks and around the former canal basin site, spreading further via the old railway embankment that once served the town.
