Knotweed in Port Talbot
Port Talbot's steelworks and dockland along the Afan estuary created miles of disturbed, contaminated ground where Japanese knotweed thrives, spreading further along the old Port Talbot Railway and mineral lines.
Port Talbot sits within our South Wales coverage, where the main local pressure is ex-colliery land, valley railway routes and shared terraced boundaries.
