Knotweed in Manchester
Manchester's industrial canal network, including the Rochdale Canal and former cotton mill sites, has left extensive brownfield land where knotweed spreads rapidly through disused railway viaducts and inner-city wastelands.
Manchester sits within our Greater Manchester coverage, where the main local pressure is river valleys, mill land and city-centre regeneration sites.
