Why ragwort is a problem in Wallasey
On Wallasey properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Wallasey's coastal promenade and former railway embankments near the Wirral shoreline have become colonised by knotweed, which spreads through disturbed ground around New Brighton's Victorian fortifications.
