    Why curly waterweed is a problem in Accrington

    On Accrington properties, curly waterweed submerged growth fills ponds, canals and fishing lakes, crowding out native aquatic plants and snagging boats. Accrington's famous brickworks and old railway sidings along the River Hyndburn left disturbed clay pits and embankments where Japanese knotweed has spread extensively across the town's post-industrial landscape.
