    Why floating pennywort is a problem in Burgess Hill

    On Burgess Hill properties, floating pennywort grows up to twenty centimetres a day, choking ponds, ditches and slow water and blocking drainage and angling access. Burgess Hill's growth along the former brickworks and the streams draining towards the River Adur has left disturbed clay ground where knotweed has become well established, especially near the old railway goods yard.
