Knotweed in Preston
Preston's mill-town legacy along the River Ribble and Lancaster Canal left disturbed weirs and derelict cotton mill sites where Japanese knotweed spreads freely along riverside walkways and railway cuttings through the city.
Preston sits within our Lancashire coverage, where the main local pressure is mill-town river valleys and shared terraced boundaries.
