Why giant hogweed is a problem in Worksop
On Worksop 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. Worksop's location on the Chesterfield Canal and River Ryton, alongside former colliery sites in the Dukeries, has given Japanese knotweed ready access to disturbed towpath and railway embankment habitats around the town.
