I WAS reading Enda Phelps’ letter in this week’s SNJ regarding unwanted plants in Stroud cemetery.

It inspired me to write about ivy, which is a plant that has become quite invasive.

Within half a mile of my home I noticed ivy growing in stones, stonework, trees, hedges and garden plants.

It is growing along the ground in my garden and up a number of my trees.

I hope something can be done about this noxious weed.

I think I will contact Stroud District Council for advice.
