Broom (Cytisus scoparius): growing on the rough ground adjacent to the railway line.

Greater Celandine (Chelidonium majus): grows in a few locations in town (e.g. Station Rd., the Old Post Office, near the Co-op).

Japanese Knotweed (Fallopia japonica): also on the rough ground adjactent to the railway line.

Dog's Mercury (Mercurialis perennis): grows in a number of woodland edges.

Marsh marigold (Caltha palustris): recorded earlier in the year from the pool on the old landfill site to the northwest of the town.
