Spurred by resident complaints at the June 13 meeting, the Township Council on July 11 introduced an ordinance that would limit how running bamboo can be planted in Franklin.

Under the ordinance, all new plantings of running bamboo would have to be made in above-ground planters, so as to prevent the plant’s roots from spreading.
