Giant Hogweed

Reported via desktop in the Overgrown or obscuring view (NH) category anonymously at 12:46, Wednesday 31 July 2024

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6298307.

Giant Hogweed poisonous plant causes sensitivity to light if touched. This leads to the affected individual suffering burns. This is a risk to the public and those sent out to deal with it. If the sap gets in the eyes, it can cause blindness. This needs to be removed urgently. Thank you.
