Do they still bother?
I found this long forgotten photo when I was looking for ones of the Saltcoats "skyline". This was the first picture I took with my first camera, a Kodak Brownie 127 (what else), in 1961. Unfortunately it's black and white and doesn't show how lovely everything looked. I wonder what it looks like now.....

Re: Do they still bother?
Looks like a nice photo Irene, with 'Saltcoats' picked out (in flowers?) on the right, but I don't understand the significance of your topic title: 'Do they still bother?'.
I'm still saving up for a signature.

Re: Do they still bother?
Sorry George 
I meant does the council, or whoever is responsible, still bother to have the flowers planted?
Irene
p.s. third try at posting this.......

North Ayrshire Council still plants flowers and some are very near where the 1961 photo was taken.
In 2009, it built the brick structure shown below and made a floral display to commemorate the centenary of Ardrossan Scouts. The words are 'ARDROSSAN SCOUTS Be prepared. 1909 - 2009'.
Last year, there was another flower arrangement with the Council's logo and the words 'North Ayrshire Council Building a Better North Ayrshire'.
There is currently a display at the Civic Centre in Ardrossan.

Irene, I remember while serving my moulding apprenticeship at Winton Foundry Ardrossan, older fellow apprentices, Jim MacIntyre and Ronnie Yuille making the bowl of the fountain you see there in your photo - that would have been around 1958.

Hughie,
By coincidence I was looking at a photo only this week which included Ronnie Yuille and Jim Macintyre as young members of the 1138 Air Training Corps which was based at Ardrossan Academy.
Ronnie is extreme left in the front row, Jim is extreme right.
