Why ragwort is a problem in Altrincham
On Altrincham properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Around the market house and the Stamford Quarter, Altrincham's mix of gardens, riverbanks, railway corridors and development plots gives invasive and persistent weeds plenty of disturbed ground to colonise, and infestations regularly cross property boundaries across Greater Manchester.
