Reader's photos: Roundabout is beginning to look blooming lovely

Yes it does look lovely. However, it would look even lovelier if CEC had been bothered to pick up the dead wood and leaves during the winter whilst cutting the grass in February! We can but hope. Maybe next year, or some kind hearted individual might do it for them free of charge.

It looks really beautiful, and I guess we should enjoy it while we can, as I expect there will be plans in the future to build some more badly needed flats on it, possibly one of those high rise jobs where people can be stored in between trips to the supermarket. Parking underneath for 200 more cars easily poured into the roundabout,to join the end of the queue into town. One day, we could then look at these special photos in the library or somewhere and think how lovely the town used to be.

Chris - agree entirely. Enjoy these areas whilst you can. Sometimes I get out the photos to look at the fields as they were on Adlington road. Several mature trees on the frontage - now gone. A pond and areas of wetland, and full of wildlife. Now I can't bear to walk down the road, and that is before the stone "entrance features" go up. I could justify this for "need", but not when I see whole areas of Macclesfield which are brownfield and which require regeneration and not when I see shops in Wilmslow with their upper storeys completely empty which would make good flats and of size larger than currently being built, and not when I see the volume of empty office buildings.

This morning I see that the daffodils and planter on the opposite verge have been vandalised!

What sort of morons get pleasure from doing that?

Yes it does look lovely. However, If council funds are so tight then maybe the money would be better spent on re opening public toilets in the town center.
Flowers are nice but not vital. Public toilets are.
