Knotweed in Gateshead
Gateshead's former ironworks and quayside industry along the River Tyne left disturbed riverbank land where Japanese knotweed has spread beneath the town's bridges and along old goods yard sites near the Baltic.
Gateshead sits within our Tyne & Wear coverage, where the main local pressure is riverbank and shipyard brownfield with a short treatment season.
