Controversial £20,000 planters in Alexandria are set to be removed, after being branded “a waste of money” by the council leader.
The 32 boxes – which cost £635 each – were placed near the Smollett Fountain at the junction between Main Street and Bank Street last July, sparking disbelief and outrage from residents.
The garish designs were created by pupils at Vale of Leven Academy to celebrate the town’s textile heritage with Turkey Red-style animal and flower motifs.
