The pedestrianised shopping street is paved with a carpet of colour

There was a continental market on Fargate on Thursday, offering a good range of cheeses, meats, snacks and goods. One extended stall was selling a wide selection of plants and flowers, which added a wonderful touch of colour to the pedestrianised area.

I’m sure that flowers in urban areas are hard to look after and prone to attack from the elements and vandalism, but does this offer any food for thought for town planners?
