Why brambles is a problem in Hitchin
On Hitchin properties, brambles arching stems root wherever they touch, quickly reclaiming gardens, car parks and vacant plots and hiding fly-tipped waste. The River Hiz and River Oughton converge near Hitchin, both watercourses associated with persistent knotweed stands, while the town's former malting and brewing sites offer further disturbed ground for the plant to spread.
