Decision details

Floral Decorations
The service will not be supplying and maintaining floral decorations to the city centre and surrounding areas this spring and summer. We will however, honour any commitments where they are purchased by community committees, ward members or community groups. This will include maintenance as applicable.

Seasonal Bedding Displays
This year Summer bedding displays will be restricted to areas that already have spring bedding displays planted in them, such as crematoria, cemeteries, remembrance gardens and city parks. Those flower bed areas left will not be planted out with bedding but will be seeded during March with a pictorial wildflower mix that will provide colour from May right through to late October. This seed mix has the added benefit of being an excellent pollinator and fits in well with the council’s actions to combat climate change and promote biodiversity.
