    Why running bamboo is a problem in Corby

    On Corby properties, running bamboo running rhizome crosses boundaries, lifts patios and can enter cavity walls and drains — increasingly the subject of neighbour disputes. Corby's dramatic industrial legacy from its former steelworks has left extensive derelict land where knotweed thrives, spreading further along disused railway sidings and the East Carlton Country Park's woodland streams.
