DUE to the cuts in West Dunbartonshire Council’s greenspace department, the planters in Balloch were not going to be filled

An appeal to help was made to businesses within the vicinity of the planters without success, so members of the Balloch and Haldane Community Council made personal donations to purchase plants which one community council member “brought on” in their green house and they were planted out last Tuesday evening.

Jan Spiers had her husband to thank for providing an ingenious system which fitted into the back of the car, and if it is not raining they will be down watering the planters.
