First There Were Three Now There Are Two!!

During the past couple of weeks the planters at the bottom of Sim Balk Lane have been adding some colour to the area outside the Chapel despite earlier vandalism and being surrounded on times by excavations, the planters have survived.

Imagine my disgust on Sunday morning to find that one of these planters had disappeared without trace. What was more disappointing was that on Monday the City in Bloom Judges came through Bishopthorpe as part of the Judging. I am of the opinion that the theft had been planned in advance and would urge anybody who saw anything suspicious or who might have information as to where the planter is, to contact the Police on 0845 60 60 247 quoting log no 12090056799. The planter cost £250 which included 4 years replanting and maintenance.

The Police have had a spate of similar planters reported stolen and they believe that they are being stolen to order.
