I've had a read and think this is it - thanks Looks like the treatment is to dig out the roots as much as possible, strim and keep on top of regrowth. Seems like I have a busy day tomorrow! thanks for your help and swift suggestion
I have a very soft spot for Butterbur - one of the first plants I learned to identify and look forward to in the spring as a child - I remember fondly the bank near my primary school where it grew, and learning how the leaves were used to place pats of butter on and to wrap them in to keep them cool on the way to market.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Not an easy one to get rid of. I'm not much of a chemical user but I'd be getting out the glyphosate

Thanks, I might give that some thought. That's a cool story, I'll tell my daughter tomorrow
Both lovely plants but they really have no self control and before you know where you are there's no room for anything else
