Why algae and lichen is a problem in Bangor
On Bangor properties, algae and lichen green film on paths, patios, render and signage that stains surfaces and makes them slippery through the winter. In Bangor, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Belfast Lough and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Ward Park and Crawfordsburn Country Park, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Groomsport and Crawfordsburn, are where we most often find established stands.
