Why brambles is a problem in St Albans
On St Albans properties, brambles arching stems root wherever they touch, quickly reclaiming gardens, car parks and vacant plots and hiding fly-tipped waste. The River Ver runs through St Albans and has become a recognised knotweed corridor, with further colonies found along disused railway embankments and the old maltings sites near the city centre.
