The Walsall council is trying to reduce the town's budget by £ 29 million, but in such a situation, residents are responding to the administration that installed 'flashy and obtrusive' flower pots. Is frustrated. 'It's unbelievable,' said Andrea Loveridge, a 39-year-old florist who runs a local florist. 'These make the location look like Super Mario Bros., like a warp pipe where Mario jumps off.' Walsall has become less lively in recent years, pointing out that flowerpots are terribly unattractive in concrete bleak buildings and vacant tenants, saying, 'Why the administration is paying to try to get the business back to the center of town. Won't you spend it? '



37-year-old Joanna Parrish, a mother of two, said, 'It's annoying with vulgar colors. It's a complete waste of taxpayer money. Recent Walsall is a ghost town, and what role does this flowerpot play? I can't stand it, 'he blames the administration and insists that he should focus on revitalizing the business rather than the meaningless and huge flowerpots.



45-year-old Sue Morrisson, who works in a supermarket, said, 'It may look fine in a vibrant, modern city, but in a dilapidated and exhausted city like Walsall, it stands out like a thumb pain. Recently, Walsall

has lost Debenhams and Marks & Spencer , and alternative stores aren't coming back soon. Everyone calls the planter a 'Mario clay pipe,' and it's a bit of a laugh. ' I did.

On social media, 'at least the council tried to brighten the town,' but many people said, 'Members of the Walsall council don't see the reality.' 'It's too stupid.' The Walsall Council should be studied as a sample of 'How to not run' 'Maybe you're expecting Mario to pop out' 'Walsall Council meeting a few months ago:' Shopping I found out what was going to bring back customers! It's a huge and cheesy green plant pot! ”



Adrian Andrew, deputy leader of the Walsall Council, argued that the installation of flowerpots was a decision to improve the environment in the heart of the town. 'A key element of this work was to introduce more planting in the center of town to create a more sociable space outside the Walsall Art Gallery,' he said.
