Why floating pennywort is a problem in Bicester
On Bicester properties, floating pennywort grows up to twenty centimetres a day, choking ponds, ditches and slow water and blocking drainage and angling access. Bicester's growth around former RAF land and the Bicester to Oxford railway line has left disturbed ground where knotweed readily establishes, with further infestations tracked along the Langford Brook that threads through the town.
