Why floating pennywort is a problem in Dowlais
On Dowlais properties, floating pennywort grows up to twenty centimetres a day, choking ponds, ditches and slow water and blocking drainage and angling access. Dowlais sits on the northern edge of Merthyr Tydfil, where old ironworks land and tips have carried knotweed for decades.
