The interactive heatmap highlights the worst areas across the UK for knotweed
The latest map showing hotspots for Japanese Knotweed has revealed Nottinghamshire as an 'area of concern'. The fast growing and invasive plant has been reported to damage buildings and cause house prices to plummet.
The new map highlights the worst areas across the UK for reports of the plant and Nottinghamshire, along with London, Merseyside, Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Glasgow, Bristol, Sheffield, and the Isle of Man are among some of the 'biggest areas of concern'.Displayed as an interactive 'heatmap', the data from invasive plant specialists Environet shows homeowners and homebuyers exactly where the weed is growing across the country.
If you discover the plant in your garden, there are rules in place on how to dispose of the weed. You also have to disclose its presence. If you find it and attempt to remove it yourself, you must NEVER simply pop it in the compost, green bin or send it to the tip. Instead, take advice on the topic. According to the map, some of the worst areas of Nottinghamshire have around 194 occurrences within a four kilometre area. Hotspots are marked on the map from yellow to red, with darker spots signifying the worst infestations. However, that figure isn't as high as St Helen's in Merseyside, there are 441 occurrences within four kilometres, while another area in Bolton, Greater Manchester has 684.
