Why floating pennywort is a problem in Whitley Bay
On Whitley Bay properties, floating pennywort grows up to twenty centimetres a day, choking ponds, ditches and slow water and blocking drainage and angling access. Whitley Bay's coastal dunes and old colliery railway lines nearby created disturbed sandy ground where Japanese knotweed has spread along the Rocket wagonway path and stream corridors leading down to the seafront.
