Why stinging nettles is a problem in Macclesfield
On Macclesfield properties, stinging nettles colonise nutrient-rich and disturbed ground, making verges, play areas and yard margins unusable within a season. Macclesfield's former silk mills along the River Bollin and Macclesfield Canal left disturbed millponds and weirs where Japanese knotweed has taken hold, particularly on the steep, damp banks below the old mill complexes.
