Knotweed in Brighton
Brighton's steep chalk valleys and former railway cuttings, particularly around Preston Park and the old goods yards, have provided knotweed with sheltered disturbed ground, while the Wellesbourne stream channel beneath the city also supports growth.
Brighton sits within our East Sussex coverage, where the main local pressure is steep coastal valleys, slope stability and terraced garden spread.
