Has financial climate change nipped flowers in the bud?

Given the current climate of spending cuts at Boston Borough Council, we wonder whether another slicing has gone almost unnoticed.
We refer to the "Boston in Bloom" project, under which local businesses apparently contributed towards the cost of enhancing otherwise neglected areas such as traffic islands and other muddy areas around the town -turning them into an urban oasis of flowers and shrubs, with their contribution recognised by a plaque.
But in recent months we have noticed a tendency for many of the businesses who take part to have their names linked to nothing more than patches of grass.
Has the project slipped quietly in abeyance to save a few quid from the borough coffers?
Please let us know if you have the answer.

E-mail us at boston.eye@googlemail.com We always respect requests for confidentiality if they are made.
See you after the weekend.
