Knotweed in Stowmarket
The River Gipping flows directly through Stowmarket, and its old maltings and mill sites have long supported knotweed colonies, further spread along the disused Ipswich to Bury railway embankments nearby.
Stowmarket sits within our Suffolk coverage, where the main local pressure is light sandy soils, river valleys and port brownfield fill.
