    Why floating pennywort is a problem in Bournemouth

    On Bournemouth properties, floating pennywort grows up to twenty centimetres a day, choking ponds, ditches and slow water and blocking drainage and angling access. Bournemouth's Victorian pleasure gardens along the Bourne Stream valley, known as the Chines, have provided sheltered disturbed ground where knotweed has spread extensively through the town's wooded ravines.
