Why running bamboo is a problem in Paignton
On Paignton properties, running bamboo running rhizome crosses boundaries, lifts patios and can enter cavity walls and drains — increasingly the subject of neighbour disputes. Paignton's Victorian resort development and the disused Dartmouth Steam Railway sidings have left disturbed ground along Goodrington Sands, where knotweed spreads through the town's coastal valleys.
