Why knotweed spreads in Kent
Kent's knotweed sits along the Medway and Stour, on the Thames Gateway regeneration sites, and on the extensive railway network running to the coast. Large-scale housing delivery across the county makes CDM-compliant remediation programmes a regular part of our Kent workload.
Main local pressure: Medway and Stour valleys plus Thames Gateway regeneration land.
