Knotweed in Oldham
Oldham's former cotton spinning mills and steep valley railway cuttings along the River Medlock have left disturbed slopes where knotweed has become firmly established across the town's hillside terraces.
Oldham sits within our Greater Manchester coverage, where the main local pressure is river valleys, mill land and city-centre regeneration sites.
