Why Japanese knotweed is a problem in March
On March properties, Japanese knotweed rhizome spreads several metres underground, exploits cracks in hard standing and drains, and can stall a mortgage offer or sale. March's location beside the River Nene old course and its extensive former railway marshalling yards, once among the largest in the country, have left disturbed ground where knotweed continues to spread across the Fens.

How we treat Japanese knotweed in March
Treatment method
We use a three to five year stem-injection and foliar herbicide programme, or hybrid and full excavation with licensed off-site disposal where timescales are tight.
Best timing
Most effective late summer to early autumn, when the plant draws herbicide down into the rhizome.
Your legal position
Listed on Schedule 9 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 — allowing it to spread to neighbouring land can bring a civil claim, and the cut material is controlled waste.
Local coverage
March and nearby Wimblington, Doddington, Wimblington Common.
