Knotweed in Hastings
Hastings' steep wooded valleys, or 'ghylls', combined with disused railway land near the old town, create sheltered damp conditions ideal for knotweed, which also spreads along the Bourne Stream through the town centre.
Hastings sits within our East Sussex coverage, where the main local pressure is steep coastal valleys, slope stability and terraced garden spread.
