There are several ‘stands’ of Giant Hogweed along Neachley Lane all the way up past Ruckley and as far as the Midland Air Ambulance compound at Cosford - it has noticeably spread since last year - it isn’t in flower yet so it may be possible to catch it before it spreads further. Several patches are very close to the road and could be inadvertently touched / knocked by passing cyclists / pedestrians
