Wasn't the idea that the bulbs for summer were planted under the winter ones so that when the winter ones died off the summer ones started pushing through so that new ones didn't have to go up? Didn't we get told that this would save money by only having to be hung once? So, am I right in understanding that the winter ones are being replaced with summer ones because the plan didn't work?
In all fairness to Britcliffe on this one, my understanding was also that the council would do this and place them outside shops that wanted one on the understanding that the shop keepers themselves would take some responsibility for caring for them.
So six of one and half dozen of the other on this one!
