    It's certainly not Giant Hogweed if that's what you're worried about. Common Hogweed isn't worth worrying about, a common native roadside plant. There is a mix of plants there, none look like any Hogweed

    I agree … nothing that I can see there is anything to be worried about … and as @nutcutlet says, our native Common Hogweed is not anything to fear … and it’s wonderful for wildlife … but I can’t see any in your picture.
