Giant Hogweed

Post by Mike Graham »

Does anyone know if LCC have a policy to eradicate Giant Hogweed please?

Large amounts are now appearing alongside the River Darwen footpaths in Hoghton Bottoms (upstream from the weir) and at Samlesbury Bottoms, both in the Chorley District area.

Thanks.

I reported a plant in B&Q car park in Chorley this week. It was cut down and injected within a few days. Any growing near footpaths and public areas should, by law, be removed as they are so toxic. You can report to Chorley BC on their website under 'weeds'!
