Why giant hogweed is a problem in Keighley
On Keighley 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. Keighley's textile mill legacy and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal's disturbed towpaths, together with the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway embankments, have provided corridors for knotweed to spread widely.
