Why stinging nettles is a problem in Swindon
On Swindon properties, stinging nettles colonise nutrient-rich and disturbed ground, making verges, play areas and yard margins unusable within a season. Swindon's former Great Western Railway works left extensive disturbed sidings and sleeper yards, where knotweed has become deeply entrenched, spreading through the town's old canal feeder streams.
