Why giant hogweed is a problem in Pudsey
On Pudsey 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. Pudsey's former textile mills and the Leeds and Bradford Ring Road's disturbed embankments have allowed knotweed to spread into the town's parks, aided by the nearby Aire Valley railway corridor.
