Knotweed in North Shields
Around the fish quay and the ferry landing, North Shields's mix of gardens, riverbanks, railway corridors and development plots gives invasive and persistent weeds plenty of disturbed ground to colonise, and infestations regularly cross property boundaries across Tyne and Wear.
