Trouble about hanging baskets

There have been some complaints about hanging baskets which were supposed to be given out to residents living in the HMRI area. The idea it seems is that these baskets would brighten up the area and make it more cheerful for those of us having to put up with the mess and the grime of the demolition and house clearing.

Leaving aside for a moment the fact that some of us would rather see the money spent on employing more street cleaners and cleaning up the widespread grafitti - it seems the distribution of these baskets was bungled.

I have had reports from several people that there were youngsters seen carrying off baskets down Church Street to who knows where - whilst those of us on Seymour Street and some other local streets knew nothing at all about the availability of free hanging baskets.

Did you know? Have you got one? Have we got it wrong? Was this a great idea carried out properly or a big cock up?
