    Why water primrose is a problem in Newmarket

    On Newmarket properties, water primrose forms floating mats over ponds, lakes and slow drains, deoxygenating water and blocking flows. Newmarket's extensive horse-racing gallops and former railway sidings serving the studs have left disturbed chalky ground prone to knotweed, which is also found along the Fordham stream running through the town.
