Your second and third paragraphs sum it up. IMO, it is badly thought out, and the whole area is now blighted. Who thought of those garish, oversized and badly positioned 'flowerpots'?

The colourful flowerpots were placed there because a councillor saw a child’s painting of Fargate and was inspired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, as an aside, totally failing to notice said flowerpots are garish and impede movement in an already crowded area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm... I think you're missing the point, Mr Rolling... ... 'garish and impeding movement' seems to be just the 'look' Fargate is aiming for! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHRISTMAS ON THE MOOR This year our Alpine Bar, usually on the top of Fargate, will be moving to The Moor! It’s so exciting to be able to make this move and we will be beinging a number of cabins and the Big wheel with us! Don’t worry we will still have lots of cabins on Fargate and around Town Hall Square as well as the Alpine Logde in the Peace gardens.
