I thought I would like to share this one with you. My local town council have been given seven days notice by the county council to remove flower baskets from lamppost because they may pull the lamppost over. The county council give health and safety law as the reason.
I have sent my views to the local newspaper i.e. if a flower basket can pull them over then they need to be removed immediately etc. Like to hear your comments.

If these baskets have a Rhododendrum bush packed in there, with a full Japanese rockery and pagoda, then I'd be inclined to agree. I'd have to see the baskets and the lampposts, but it does seem rather draconian.
Mind you, I'd take them down anyway, as they must be due to come down no summer is over.

Warderic,
piffle.....
check out the TUC myths re H+S....been done before.
Half-truth
Local councils have banned hanging baskets on health and safety grounds.
Truth
This probably relates to Bury St Edmunds where the borough did briefly remove hanging baskets because of concerns that some lampposts were unstable. As soon as they had checked the lampposts the hanging baskets were replaced. There are still hanging baskets in Bury St Edmunds.
Holmezy
or is it because its Friday?
soon be beer time!
