Why suspected knotweed is a problem in Chorley
On Chorley properties, suspected knotweed bindweed, houttuynia, dogwood, russian vine and bamboo are all mistaken for knotweed, which triggers unnecessary panic during a sale. Chorley's former cotton mills and coal pits along the River Chor and Leeds and Liverpool Canal left disturbed ground where Japanese knotweed has spread along old mill lodges and railway embankments through the town.
