Knotweed in Southend-on-Sea
Southend's Victorian seafront regeneration and the historic Prittle Brook corridor have left disturbed embankments where knotweed spreads readily, aided by the town's dense rail network including the London to Southend line.
Southend-on-Sea sits within our Essex coverage, where the main local pressure is estuary industrial land and new-town estate boundaries.
