Why giant hogweed is a problem in Bury
On Bury 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. Bury's former textile and paper mill sites along the River Irwell and the East Lancashire Railway embankments have left disturbed ground where knotweed has spread into surrounding parkland and allotments.
