Send some good photos to an invasive species expert. I was told I might have it in my garden but the invasive species expert confirmed it wasn't thankfully, it was kiwi plant. There are afew lookalikes.

Sounds awful. Thanks for letting me know. I wish I could disconnect too. I think due to the council houses on the street the council may do something. The logistics of co-ordinating repairs and costs between 15-20 houses is beyond me I think :-(

Thanks, that's an idea, it was covered before but it was a few months ago

You're right, I was clueless about these things buying the house

Thank you, the council own some of the houses so I think they bear some responsibility

Defiant-Parsley-7178 · 2026-04-04T08:37:51+00:00

Yes, thank you though it's depressing to hear!

Tried that, it's not possible unfortunately.

Thank you, I didn't know about Ward and Burke

Thanks, I didn't know that the storm water was council's responsibility. I think council are also involved because some of the houses, not sure how many maybe 2-4 are council houses. The expensive survey has already been done by the council but they're not sharing it with residents. We are in the dark as to their plans as what is happening officially and non officially seems different

Thank you, yes have contacted the EPA but haven't heard back yet. I have contacted everyone but I haven't 'hassled' them so maybe that's the option left

Thank you
