Knotweed in Peterborough
Peterborough's extensive river frontage on the Nene, together with former brickworks pits at Fletton and Whittlesey now used for gravel extraction, have created widespread wetland knotweed habitat across the city's edges.
Peterborough sits within our Cambridgeshire coverage, where the main local pressure is fenland drains, water-managed land and high-value garden plots.
