Why algae and lichen is a problem in Southport
On Southport properties, algae and lichen green film on paths, patios, render and signage that stains surfaces and makes them slippery through the winter. Around Lord Street and the pier, Southport'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 Lancashire.
