Why water primrose is a problem in Market Harborough
On Market Harborough properties, water primrose forms floating mats over ponds, lakes and slow drains, deoxygenating water and blocking flows. Market Harborough sits in Leicestershire, 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.
