In 2007/2008 Forest Hill localities fund was spent on hangin baskets (see here). It was not included in 2008/2009 or 2009/2010.
But what happens after a town centre pays for hanging baskets? Do they only rent the baskets and have to buy new flowers each year? Surely if there were hanging baskets in previous years they should still be there and I am sure somebody (i.e. Horniman Gardens) would be willing to replant them. Are the baskets sitting in a depot somewhere or have they been taken by another ward?
