Why knotweed spreads in Merseyside
Dock land, the Leeds–Liverpool canal and decades of railway sidings gave knotweed an unusually well-connected route across Merseyside. Terraced housing in Liverpool and Bootle means treatment plans here almost always need co-ordination between adjoining owners.
Main local pressure: Dockland, canal towpaths and dense terraced housing.
