The giant plant pots divided opinion when they appeared last month, and the council has confirmed that planting will take place later this year - leaving the new additions a target for vandals and flytippers.
Giant plant pots that appeared on the streets of Glasgow's west end and divided locals a month ago have been targeted by vandals before greenery is planted in them.
Residents and businesses said they had no warning that what they have learned are tree planters were being brought into the area as part of an ongoing Glasgow City Council project to make the lower end of Byres Road more attractive. Kitchen staff at Rum Bongo, on the corner of Byres Road and Chancellor Street, said council workers had been on the scene earlier in the week trying to scrub graffiti off the plant pot outside their premises but their efforts had little impact on the container’s pebble dash-style surface.
