Why ragwort is a problem in St Neots
On St Neots properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. St Neots sits on the Great Ouse, and its old riverside wharves and gravel pits, now popular for leisure, provide ongoing knotweed habitat, particularly along the towpath leading towards the Priory Water lakes.
