Why algae and lichen is a problem in Cannock
On Cannock properties, algae and lichen green film on paths, patios, render and signage that stains surfaces and makes them slippery through the winter. Cannock's former coalfield left extensive reclaimed colliery spoil heaps and old mineral railway lines near Cannock Chase, disturbed ground that Japanese knotweed has exploited along verges and brownfield sites throughout the town.
