Why giant hogweed is a problem in West Bromwich
On West Bromwich 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. West Bromwich's industrial past, including old iron foundries and the Tame Valley Canal, left disturbed brownfield corridors where knotweed thrives, spreading into Dartmouth Park and nearby residential streets.
