Removal of Japanese Knotweed in Newham, has become an issue which the council have had to deal with. Newham Council have had to reinstate that they are not allowed to take Japanese Knotweed from residents’ rubbish bins. As many people have resorted to the home-made method of digging out the stands! Unfortunately, this is not an effective method of eradication, and mortgage lenders do not accept this treatment method when it comes to valuing a property.
