Japanese knotweed and giant hogweed

Report an issue with Japanese hogweed and giant hogweed.

To report an issue you will need a mygovscot myaccount. This will allow you to request a range of services and keep track on the progress of your request.

Japanese knotweed and giant hogweed are two of the most common invasive plant species in the UK.

We aim to inspect reported issues within 14 working days and only treat issues on council-owned land through our treatment plan.  

Our treatment plan does not include privately owned land - this is the responsibility of the landowner. 

For information: mygovscot myaccount is the easy way to access public services online and is delivered by the Improvement Service, the go-to organisation for local government improvement in Scotland. The platform provides access to a range of public services, including getyournec.scot for National Entitlement Card applications, which uses mygovscot myaccount authentication and identity verification services.
