Knotweed in Lewes
Lewes sits on the River Ouse, a major knotweed corridor in East Sussex, and the town's former brewery and malthouse sites, combined with the old railway sidings near the station, offer further disturbed habitat.
Lewes sits within our East Sussex coverage, where the main local pressure is steep coastal valleys, slope stability and terraced garden spread.
