....about the environment for residents: is Bromley.
Have any of you seen the display of plants and flowers in the borough this summer? They have these gorgeous tiered flower displays along most high streets and the area outside the council complex near the glades is spectacular.
Why can't Lewisham council do this? Is there really a huge difference in cash available? I know we got some hanging baskets this summer but that planter outside the post office is still pitiful.
I agree on the assembly and gardening thread about people failing to do things to improve the area because of what might happen which is apparently why Sydenham Green GP practice looks so depressing outside.
An example of a council who really care...
The problem with the flowers in the high street in Sydenham is that you can't see them, there is so much clutter, with the big brother-esq "love lewisham" recycle banners (shouldn't they say love Sydenham' if they are in Sydenham?), clutters of road signs and general high street tattyness. at 400 quid a basket that's a lot of money on something that you can hardly see. I'm not against flowers, but shouldn't we fix stuff first so we can actually appreciate them?
