Why algae and lichen is a problem in Thame
On Thame properties, algae and lichen green film on paths, patios, render and signage that stains surfaces and makes them slippery through the winter. The River Thame and its tributary brooks running through the town centre are prime knotweed habitat, compounded by disused agricultural yards and the old cattle market site that once anchored the town's rural trade.
