New planters are brightening up the town and getting "positive feedback" but a small minority who have stolen flowers are ruining it for everyone else.
A total of 51 of the new planters will be sited by Morecambe Town Council, including 12 on Westgate/Regent Road between Globe Drive and Regent Park Avenue, and 10 spread down Lancaster Road to the Shrimp Roundabout and on into Torrisholme.
Smaller groupings are on Devonshire, Balmoral and Heysham Roads in the West End, outside the Beach Cafe near The Battery, Central Drive near Morecambe Railway Station and the bottom of Pedder Street, Victoria Street, Broadway, Bare Lane and around the Bay Gateway Junction.
But a Facebook post by the Morecambe Bay Independents, the largest group on the town council, said they were: "Extremely sad to see people helping themselves to plants from the new planters provided by Morecambe Town Council."
"Morecambe Town Council's pavement planters have already received a great deal of positive feedback," said a town council spokesperson.
"They are bringing colour, character and increased biodiversity to different parts of the town and helping build civic pride in the process.
"It is therefore disappointing that a small number of individuals have chosen to remove plants from the displays.
"This does amount to theft from the council and, indirectly, from the wider community whose taxes help fund these improvements.
"Therefore we are looking to take appropriate action where possible, as a matter of principle."
The planters were manufactured locally by Quay Fabrications and the plants sourced from Laburnum Nurseries.
