Why giant hogweed is a problem in Brackley
On Brackley 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. Brackley's old market town streams feeding the River Great Ouse and the disused Great Central Railway embankment on its outskirts both provide sheltered, undisturbed corridors where knotweed has become established.
