Complaints about the Civic Garden

Regular readers to this blog may remember my opposition to the creation of the Civic Garden.

Whilst I accept that it was well executed and is a pleasant venue to sit and relax, the cost of maintenance was not considered in the planning process. I predicted in May 2008 and Jan 2009 that this garden would become yet another drain on the Town's resources.

It seems that less than four months after the opening ceremony the Council are already receiving complaints about poor maintenance, with stinging nettles and other weeds appearing amongst the shrubs.

I notice that the mayor hasn't had his picture taken lately in his civic garden. Any particular reason?
