Why giant hogweed is a problem in Colwyn Bay
On Colwyn Bay 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. Colwyn Bay's Victorian promenade and old railway cuttings above the town left disturbed hillside ground where Japanese knotweed has spread through the wooded valleys and stream corridors leading down to the seafront.
