Why running bamboo is a problem in Brighton
On Brighton properties, running bamboo running rhizome crosses boundaries, lifts patios and can enter cavity walls and drains — increasingly the subject of neighbour disputes. Brighton's steep chalk valleys and former railway cuttings, particularly around Preston Park and the old goods yards, have provided knotweed with sheltered disturbed ground, while the Wellesbourne stream channel beneath the city also supports growth.
