A FLOWER growing in parts of East Cleveland is a potential danger to animals.
Ragwort has clusters of bright yellow multi-headed flowers and grows to about 18 ins high. Although pretty to look at, the flower is a potential danger if eaten by horses and cattle.
Saltburn, Marske and New Marske Parish Council has agreed to try to prevent any problems by spraying affected bridle paths with weedkiller.
Council warden Mick Crooks is concentrating on the worst affected paths, particularly around Marske, and horse riders are urged to take extra care while in the area
