THROUGHOUT the year the people of Lower Broad Street provide a delightful display of carefully chosen plants and flowers. The effect is uplifting.

A few yards away, this monster has suddenly appeared, courtesy of Ludlow in Bloom, in a prominent position on the approach to Ludford bridge.The effect is dispiriting.

What looks like a heap of tyres would be more suited to a car park.
