Why knotweed spreads in Staffordshire
Former potteries, colliery and power-station land across Staffordshire left large areas of made ground that knotweed colonised early, and the Trent and Mersey canal keeps moving fragments between those sites.
Main local pressure: Potteries and colliery made ground plus the Trent and Mersey canal.
