Why Japanese knotweed is a problem in Tamworth
On Tamworth properties, Japanese knotweed rhizome spreads several metres underground, exploits cracks in hard standing and drains, and can stall a mortgage offer or sale. Tamworth lies at the confluence of the Rivers Tame and Anker, with old colliery spoil and railway embankments along the West Coast Main Line providing the disturbed, damp ground that Japanese knotweed favours around the historic castle grounds.

How we treat Japanese knotweed in Tamworth
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
Tamworth and nearby Fazeley, Wilnecote, Hopwas.
