Why algae and lichen is a problem in Abingdon
On Abingdon properties, algae and lichen green film on paths, patios, render and signage that stains surfaces and makes them slippery through the winter. Sitting where the River Thames meets the River Ock, Abingdon has long-established knotweed colonies along both riverbanks and around the former MG car works site, where cleared industrial ground offered ideal conditions for spread.
