Knotweed in Braintree
Braintree's legacy as a Victorian textile town left disused mill sites and canal-fed streams along the River Blackwater, where knotweed has taken hold amid the old Courtaulds silk works and rail sidings.
Braintree sits within our Essex coverage, where the main local pressure is estuary industrial land and new-town estate boundaries.
