The flowers dotted around the streets in the borough are truly welcome.

As a keen gardener and someone who takes an interest in the state of our borough, I have really welcomed the council’s initiative on lining some streets with flower boxes.

Not only does this make the borough look more attractive but it genuinely lifts my spirits. I also believe it encourages residents to take more pride in their streets.

It’s often the details that count and these flowers add quality, colour and class.

I’m not always the biggest fan of some of the council’s initiatives but this is money well spent. Well done.
