Why running bamboo is a problem in Whitley Bay
On Whitley Bay properties, running bamboo running rhizome crosses boundaries, lifts patios and can enter cavity walls and drains — increasingly the subject of neighbour disputes. Whitley Bay's coastal dunes and old colliery railway lines nearby created disturbed sandy ground where Japanese knotweed has spread along the Rocket wagonway path and stream corridors leading down to the seafront.
