Why running bamboo is a problem in Wellingborough
On Wellingborough properties, running bamboo running rhizome crosses boundaries, lifts patios and can enter cavity walls and drains — increasingly the subject of neighbour disputes. The River Nene and the town's former ironstone quarrying pits, now largely flooded and used for leisure, provide extensive knotweed habitat around Wellingborough, further compounded by disused railway embankments.
