Why giant hogweed is a problem in Eastleigh
On Eastleigh 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. Eastleigh grew up around its railway works, and the sidings, embankments and old ballast yards near Eastleigh station continue to provide the disturbed ground knotweed favours, reinforced by proximity to the River Itchen floodplain.
