Hi All
Seem like I have got some of it wrong. I thought I had paid attention to detail.
So to put it straight here is the E-Mail sent to put me correct.

Alan,
I am sorry but you have got some of this wrong ....The money came mostly from Awards for All then from Brighter Borough Funding from Atherleigh Cllrs Aldred, Turnock and self and a smaller amount came from Wigan and Leigh Housing - The residents have not paid for it themselves - - by way of explanation - myself and their treasurer put the bids together - The Bridgers would be upset by the "no thanks" because they have received thanks and praise from their residents. Everyone is really pleased and I have been thanked for the part I played on the bid the planting days and ordering and filling the panniers.
.... the "because no one else would pay for them" about town centre baskets sounds not quite right it was because there was no where money could be found for a second year of "free" baskets ...the traders were offered them free last year - I am concerned that business people may feel affronted !
The Council have played their part by watering the panniers in Howe Bridge which is quite expensive for 30 panniers. Appox £3,000 for the year
and finally - The "paint job" does not belong to the council - however the property does and as landlords and as conservation officers they have asked for the paint to be removed which is not an easy task - which is removing an oil based paint from porous bricks.
I just hope you message has not got anyone's back up. Sue thank you for pointing out what's what.
It was not meant to upset but to inform those that don't know.
No I was not trying to get backs up but put the record straight and was not meant to upset anyone.
Susan
Yours sincerely
