Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Chippenham
On Chippenham properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Chippenham's former railway works and the River Avon's disturbed floodplain have provided ideal ground for knotweed, spreading through old mill leats and disused sidings near the town's industrial estates.
