Why ragwort is a problem in Newport
On Newport properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Newport's docklands along the River Usk and its former steelworks left disturbed brownfield sites throughout the city, with knotweed particularly persistent along old railway embankments near Newport station.
