Why giant hogweed is a problem in Jarrow
On Jarrow 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. Jarrow's shipbuilding legacy along the River Tyne and Don left disturbed dockland and colliery ground where Japanese knotweed has spread through the old slake wetlands and former industrial estates near the riverside.
