The Kintyre Forum

Not had a lot of time recently to post on the forum - apologies.

We understand their will be no hanging baskets in the town centre due to Health and Safety restrictions. Anyone else hear this and like to comment?

What about suspending some of the H&S tossers. Not too high though.

Blimey, the world really has gone mad. Have no details on what restrictions apply to this been quoted, they must be new if this is the first year this has occurred I would have thought that 'Jocks Adventure Land' would be more of a Health and Safety issue
Is it the Health and Safety of the plants/flowers or the public that is the in question ?

Pete.

Odds, I think you’ll find it’s so the little drops of water don’t suffer any trauma when they hit the pavement after the baskets have been watered.

Odds, Odds, Odds. Think before you speak. Don't give the Jobsworths ideas.
I sincerely hope the H&S cretin from the council doesn't use this forum or Jocks venture will never open.

If the verges of the roads are anything to go by, it is more likely due to the latest financial cutbacks. If it is a Health and Safety issue, how does hanging baskets stack up against the lack of visability on public highways. It seems it is only a Health and Safety issue when it suites.

Think it's to do with whoever has to water them - they have a spray machine the use but too heavy??

Is someone in authority having a laugh?

Costing too much to maintain, Council's idea of cutbacks etc

PS Kilmory see enough claims no doubt from pavement and road use, they don't want more from basket;s falling on people's head, it's easy enough hanging them up, it's the up keep.... Good Community Service task right enough..... along with the grass cutting they do
