Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Cwmbran
On Cwmbran properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Cwmbran's new-town construction exposed fresh disturbed ground across the Afon Lwyd valley, and knotweed quickly colonised the canal and railway corridors that run through the town's edges.
