Why giant hogweed is a problem in Warrington
On Warrington 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. Warrington's dense railway network, old chemical works and the Manchester Ship Canal have created disturbed corridors along the River Mersey where Japanese knotweed proliferates, especially near former wire-works and tannery sites.
