Why giant hogweed is a problem in Stratford-upon-Avon
On Stratford-upon-Avon 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. Stratford-upon-Avon's riverside meadows along the River Avon and old canal basin at the terminus of the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal have long been associated with knotweed, spreading further via the historic tramway embankment.
