As I've mentioned before they've fired them all off.

They should also 'fire off' the person responsible for HBC's website then, as they have someone called Rebecca Johnson listed as the Arts Development Officer, still on there. Peter Johnson is also listed as Leisure Services Officer (Arts & Tourism.)

Like I said earlier, someone on the council could be securing funding for public art, instead of wasting money on stupid things like bloody hanging baskets which are now dead through lack of foresight in the fact that they may need watering.

Re: Public Art/Statues
Rebecca left about three years ago and now works in Blackburn. We've had two other Arts Dev officers since then and the second of those two leaves officially next week but he's only been doing one day a week for about three months.

I thought of you while I was having my hair cut at Adams . Ollie was stood on the window sill of the window that overlooks the brook watering their basket. He can just manage to water it that way. If he slips he will only have a 25 foot fall into the brook ( which at the moment is about 6" deep and full of rocks but that is another story - anyone fancy Adam cleaning out Tinker Brook as he is trying to organise a clean up? ). I am sure Gayle will fish his body out as he passes by her house.

That bit confused me as well. Are you talking about the Council pulling funding for such things this year?

If he sails past Gayle's I'll try and fish him out.
Thank you thinking of me whilst buying something for the weekend.
They are lucky ones, they have a death defying chance to water them. Many of the others, with the baskets under the guttering don't.

Re: Public Art/Statues
Drill an hole in the gutter, then the rain will flow into the basket and water it.
Is that a clever idea or what?

Re: Public Art/Statues
Surely if there was rain you wouldn't need to worry about the plants being watered anyway!!!!!

Rindy Thrower here again.
As I said earlier, hanging baskets need to be watered at least once a day to look their best, even if it's peeing down, which it certainly isn't today.

Re: Public Art/Statues
But wouldn't the rain do the watering for you? All I'm saying is that if it was raining you wouldn't need to put a hole in the guttering to water them with rain because it would actually rain directly on to them.

No, if you think about it the diameter of a hanging basket is about twelve inches, even in constant rain very little rain water makes it's way down to the roots of the plants. Trust me on this one.
Mine gets watered twice a day and feed with tomato food once a week, it's so lush its hanging down about four feet.

Re: Public Art/Statues
I think logic is that hanging baskets do not retain water like plants in pots or directly in ground soil.
