Sales spurt for hanging baskets );
);
HENLEY in Bloom sold 129 hanging baskets in the first week they were available, which is already 54 more than at the same stage last year.
Residents and businesses are now able to order the baskets as part of the annual campaign supported by the
Henley Standard.
Windowflowers, which is based in Burnham, will supply and install the baskets at the end of May and beginning of June and maintain them all summer.
The contents of this year’s baskets have not yet been decided but the flowers will be bright to help celebrate conquering the coronavirus crisis and will have pollinators for insects.
Graffiti vandal’s spree branded ‘pathetic’ );
A VANDAL who went on a spree across Henley has been branded “pathetic”.
Town councillor Donna Crook was speaking after street furniture and shop windows were all daubed with graffiti.
A wall of the Henley 60+ Social Club, where older residents meet up, was also spray painted.
Tags and slogans, some using foul and homophobic language, appeared overnight on Wednesday last week.
They were drawn in various colours including red, silver, black and blue and included the nickname “Kazo” as well as insults directed at others who had left tags previously.
Cllr Crook has been out since then scrubbing off the graffiti from bus stops in Hart Street and Reading Road, noticeboards and planters in Market Place and off Greys Road and from the telephone cable cabinet in Station Road.
