Re: Oswaldtwistle Hanging baskets
No comments from the Ossy F.O.P.'s (The friend's of Peter.)
Perhaps they've wilted in the heat along with the geraniums.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Hanging baskets
See Here
Ok .. which one of you was it ?
Somebody must have come home with dead petals in their hair !!!
No matter what one's thoughts are, this is just another act of mindless vandalism, makes my blood boil.
Surely, someone must have seen them

Re: Oswaldtwistle Hanging baskets
Makes you wonder how much effort they went to. I parked up in liverpool once with a pallet on the back that took four of us to put on. I was in the shop a few minutes, came out and it was gone.

Guess it must be something to do with the adrenalin rush Madhatter, seems danger and excitement gives you an Incredible Hulk phenomena. Suppose this is what happens to thieves and yobs.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Hanging baskets
As someone pointe out in the letters page of the Observer, the site that was vandalised is directly opposite Oswaldtwistle's one and only CCTV camera on Union Road.
Does it not work?
Does no one ever watch it?
Is there no evidence of them vandalising the baskets?
If not, what is the point???

Re: Oswaldtwistle Hanging baskets
In the back of my mind somewhere I have a recollection that we were told at the area council meetings that the cameras were next to useless because they were so old. The Conservatives promised us a whole load of new ones in their election manifesto - obviously not been delivered yet!

Re: Oswaldtwistle Hanging baskets
It's been quite quiet in this thread from the F.O.P.'s.
Do we take it as a no comment, or are they happy with the swinging dead heads in the baskets. most of which have mysteriously been removed?

Re: Oswaldtwistle Hanging baskets
Think I answered it already as well - the camera is over 10 yrs old and is next to useless. We're supposed to be getting new ones but they obviously haven't been delivered yet.

But there were photographs and blurb about the new CCTV cameras we are going to get, all over Peter Britcliffe's election pamphlet.
Are we sure they are not already here? Perhaps they are hidden in the dead geraniums.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Hanging baskets

You're quite right, Garinda there was, but I wouldn't be the one to suggest that they were just empty promises.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Hanging baskets
Ok I suggest that the blurb on the ellection pamphlet was an empty promise.
Do I have to get that seconded?
