Well let's just wait and see what the town centre yobs, that roam the area of Broadway and skateboard in front of the Town Hall will do with them. By the way anyone know what colour these floral displays will be.;)

And it will prove a waste of money, when the said displays are in the same state as the sapling trees are on Broadway, also the metal work and litter bins. Will they use the same old lame excuse "If we dont waste it on this, it will not be there to waste next year"?

I'd rather see the money spent on cleaning the streets/town centre of litter and dog poo, also nice flat paving slabs wouldn't go a miss either. I could think of loads of things they could waste their/our money on.

Why not improve businesses in the area for investing rather than empty premises which are the biggest detraction for shoppers, maybe PB was hoping that the high florals would take the attention from them:rolleyes:

Oh dear me, what a load of cynics, are we never satisfied? Of course it's going to be wonderful for the borough, don't forget the tale of The Emperors new clothes, that is another example of why we should only cover over the cracks!

It's apt that this thread appeared, as I was just about to search for a thread about flowers.

Having just returned from our twice weekly sojourn to Accrington, I was very impressed with the raised flower beds infront of St. James's Church, on Church Street. They are very well, planted, look beautiful, and the perfume of the Hyacinths is heavenly.

Praise, were praise is due. Well done Hyndburn Borough Council, and to the people responsible for planting them.:)

By that criteria, we wouldn't do anything. Giving in to the minority of people who spoil things, isn't the answer.

I've no issue with the proposed planters. Of course there is always something else money could be spent on, but small things like this do make a difference.

I'll only get on my high horse if after being planted, there is no plan for them to be watered, as happened with the hanging baskets in Ossy last year.
