    Why water primrose is a problem in Arbroath

    On Arbroath properties, water primrose forms floating mats over ponds, lakes and slow drains, deoxygenating water and blocking flows. Arbroath sits in Dundee & Angus, where river corridors, railway embankments and post-industrial ground give invasive weeds like Japanese knotweed plenty of disturbed soil to colonise. Older housing with long gardens and vacant plots around the town see regular outbreaks, and infestations commonly spread along watercourses and disused rail lines into neighbouring streets.
