After a little research I've found from the budget papers of the area council meeting minutes that the cost of making and installing the hanging baskets was FIVE THOUSAND POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A disgraceful amount of money to waste when they have died within a few short weeks, because no one can even reach them to give them water.

The woman who owns the florist opposite the Town Hall is livid. She has two dead ones they placed seventeen feet from the floor, swinging dead in the breeze outside her shop.

I love flowers and the idea of greening up our area, but if you haven't got the sense to think about maintenance don't waste our bloody money.

Hang your head in shame Mr Britcliffe. Preferably seventeen feet off the floor so we can't water it!!!
