Title: Roundabout A61, Derby Rd, Queen Victoria Rd. Tupton.
Post by: Our_Lass on June 03, 2013, 08:25:29 PM
What the hell have the council workers been doing to the flower beds on the roundabout ?
I literally saw council workers ripping healthy plants out of the ground, pansies etc, and discarding them into the back of a pickup.
Why couldn't the council give locals the heads up to re-plant said plants in their own gardens before destroying them ??
I realise someone might have sponsored the round about for bloomage, but what a waste  :(

They do it every year and on the Royal oak roundabout going to Clay Cross.
Always look lovely - but you are right - such a waste

They've done the very same thing on the roundabout at Win sick - Telmere Lodge - it's a terrible waste in my opinion (and that's the only one that matters!!!!)

Aren't some of them sponsored? Presume, sponsors want them looking their best at all times

But what looks better than a load of multi-coloured pansies in full flower?

@ Alsatian -
Exactly! They look so colourful - and they 'can' be replanted and will flower again next year.
