Why knotweed spreads in Essex
Riverside land along the Lea, Chelmer and Thames estuary carries most of the county's knotweed, with dense pockets on former industrial plots at Grays, Tilbury and Basildon. New-town estate boundaries in Harlow and Basildon produce a steady stream of neighbour encroachment disputes.
Main local pressure: Estuary industrial land and new-town estate boundaries.
