    Why floating pennywort is a problem in Bangor

    On Bangor properties, floating pennywort grows up to twenty centimetres a day, choking ponds, ditches and slow water and blocking drainage and angling access. In Bangor, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Belfast Lough and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Ward Park and Crawfordsburn Country Park, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Groomsport and Crawfordsburn, are where we most often find established stands.
