Why stinging nettles is a problem in Stevenage
On Stevenage properties, stinging nettles colonise nutrient-rich and disturbed ground, making verges, play areas and yard margins unusable within a season. As one of the first post-war new towns, Stevenage saw extensive earthmoving during development, and knotweed has since colonised disturbed verges along the River Beane and old railway sidings near the original town.
