An invasive plant said to smell like "rotting meat" has been cleared from a Buckinghamshire river.

BBC Gardeners' World Magazine has described the plant, external as having a smell that resembles "rotting meat". Environmental charity Groundwork South received £9,900 from Affinity Water's INNS Out Scheme to carry out the work.

Surveys conducted after the work showed "promising early results", according to the charity.
