Real flowers swapped for plastic ones to save water during drought
- North East Lincolnshire Council replaced real flowers with plastic ones on the A180 overpass in Grimsby due to an ongoing drought and hosepipe ban.
- The plastic flowers cost £320, which is significantly less than the £1,000 per week cost of watering live plants over ten weeks of summer.
- Councillor Bob Callison said the decision aimed to avoid worsening water shortages and to brighten a dull concrete area for passing drivers.
- Council officials have no plans to replace other flowers in the borough with plastic, and Grimsby's town centre floral displays will remain as real flowers.
