Ragwort
Have others noticed how much Ragwort there is about this year?
I have noticed loads of it round Leeds and Manchester on the motorway verges. I think it's time an enforcement notice was served !! http://www.dgsgardening.btinternet.co.uk/ragwortflr.JPG Ragwort Injurious Weeds and The Weeds Act 1959 Ragwort is one of five injurious weeds covered by the provisions of The Weeds Act 1959. Ragwort is poisonous to horses, ponies, donkeys and other livestock, and causes liver damage, which can have potentially fatal consequences. Under the Weeds Act 1959, the Secretary of State may serve an enforcement notice on the occupier of land on which injurious weeds are growing, requiring the occupier to take action to prevent the spread of injurious weeds. http://www.defra.gov.uk/rural/horses/topics/ragwort.htm |
