Why ragwort is a problem in Stockport
On Stockport properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Stockport's Victorian viaduct and former textile mills along the River Mersey and River Goyt have left disturbed riverbanks where knotweed has spread extensively through the town's steep wooded cloughs.
