Why algae and lichen is a problem in Felixstowe
On Felixstowe properties, algae and lichen green film on paths, patios, render and signage that stains surfaces and makes them slippery through the winter. Felixstowe's status as a major container port has left extensive disturbed land around old railway sidings and dockside yards, where knotweed has spread readily alongside the tidal creeks of the River Deben estuary.
