The vendor advises 'the very small amount was found between the school railings at the rear of the property, spilling onto my land. I informed the school, and they seem to have it under control. I have kept a close eye and visited the site several times of late, and not seen any re-growth for some time.' According to the vendor; the school have indicated they may look to sell the land. At the time of writing these particulars we have not had site of any documentation regarding the Japanese Knotweed.
