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.
