Why floating pennywort is a problem in Bridport
On Bridport properties, floating pennywort grows up to twenty centimetres a day, choking ponds, ditches and slow water and blocking drainage and angling access. Bridport's historic rope and net-making industry left disturbed ground along the River Brit and River Asker, where knotweed has spread through old mill leats towards the harbour at West Bay.
