Why curly waterweed is a problem in Stafford
On Stafford properties, curly waterweed submerged growth fills ponds, canals and fishing lakes, crowding out native aquatic plants and snagging boats. Stafford sits on the River Sow and Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal, where old tanning and engineering sites left disturbed soils; knotweed has colonised railway cuttings near the West Coast Main Line and riverside meadows below the castle.
