I think the whole idea was they are to be planted and used every year.

I for one thought they looked great.
(Please note I've praised HBC, the next time I'm accused of always knocking them.)LD

Re: floral market town
If I recall correctly they have put more money into it in the 2008/2009 budget. I think you can contact them about having them near your area if they were not near last year.

...but compared with the £700,000 they wasted on a now defunct community website, at least we can actually see where this money went.

Re: floral market town
Yeah it would be nice for all the flowers to be back but how long would it take for yobs to destroy it all?
Is it worth the money for it to be ruined time and time again?
Sorry to be cynical but it's the age we live in.

I saw little damage to the ones last year, and when that happened they were they were quickly replanted, and looked magnificant.

Re: floral market town
I think they should plant the flowers every year it really cheers me up when I go down town, it takes your attention away from all the litter.

Looking at our thread last year, seems they were 'installed' around the first week June, so won't be long then...
