Knotweed in Basildon
Post-war new town redevelopment in Basildon disturbed large tracts of clay soil, and knotweed now colonises the banks of the Northlands Park lake and former brownfield sites near the old Basildon railway sidings.
Basildon sits within our Essex coverage, where the main local pressure is estuary industrial land and new-town estate boundaries.
