    Why floating pennywort is a problem in Strabane

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