Why water primrose is a problem in Woking
On Woking properties, water primrose forms floating mats over ponds, lakes and slow drains, deoxygenating water and blocking flows. Woking developed around the Basingstoke Canal and the London-Southampton railway, and disturbed land along these corridors, plus the old brickfields near Horsell Common, has allowed knotweed to become well established.
