Why stinging nettles is a problem in Port Talbot
On Port Talbot properties, stinging nettles colonise nutrient-rich and disturbed ground, making verges, play areas and yard margins unusable within a season. Port Talbot's steelworks and dockland along the Afan estuary created miles of disturbed, contaminated ground where Japanese knotweed thrives, spreading further along the old Port Talbot Railway and mineral lines.
