Having reported that the plant baskets on the barriers near Wilmslow Leisure Centre were vandalised a couple of weeks ago, unfortunately the same thing has occurred to one of the 'Welcome to Wilmslow' signs.
Vandals have not only destroyed the flowers planted at the sign as you enter the town from Styal Road but they have then filled the plant pots with rubbish and dog mess.
Helen Richards, Assistant Town Clerk, said "I was first made aware of it when a local resident called me here at the office on Monday afternoon to report it. Following her call I drove over to take a look and found the flowers and compost strewn over the floor below the sign and a pizza box and other rubbish, including bagged-up dog waste, in the baskets themselves.
"I took the rubbish to a nearby bin and I have asked for those baskets to be temporarily removed as the Nursery doesn't have any stock to replace them at present and I don't want the baskets to continue to be used as rubbish/dog waste bins."

Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
Maybe the people responsible are the same people who took great delight in pushing over people's grey bins on Sunday night/Monday morning on Manchester road into Lacey Green!
What a pathetic act by an individual or group of people who obviously have no pride in where they live. Complete morons!
So you think the bins found down Lacey green was done by these culprits? I thought it was because of the bypass road being closed that day. As Manchester road was very busy so I thought to ease the congestion they decided to move them deep down the road.
