Why stinging nettles is a problem in Southend-on-Sea
On Southend-on-Sea properties, stinging nettles colonise nutrient-rich and disturbed ground, making verges, play areas and yard margins unusable within a season. Southend's Victorian seafront regeneration and the historic Prittle Brook corridor have left disturbed embankments where knotweed spreads readily, aided by the town's dense rail network including the London to Southend line.
