Why stinging nettles is a problem in Newbury
On Newbury properties, stinging nettles colonise nutrient-rich and disturbed ground, making verges, play areas and yard margins unusable within a season. Newbury's Kennet and Avon Canal towpaths and the River Kennet's disturbed water meadows, alongside the old racecourse's railway sidings, have provided knotweed with long-standing footholds around the town.
