Binn Inn worker Pawan Gill said she wasn’t sure the plastic containers would be strong enough to stop a ram raid, and they needed something more permanent. These concerns were echoed by Green World Fruit & Veges owner Gurbagha Singh who thought the containers might do more harm than good. “It s going to make it worse. “There’s only water in those, not sand.” Singh said, in their strip of shops, only the dairy had been hit in a ram raid before, and he felt the containers outside their stores were not visually appealing. He had been told a plan for the future was to create concrete planter boxes with flowers in them, which he said would be better.
