Planters at The Bistro

I am not sure what is going on at The Bistro on Ham Parade.

Planters have come and gone over the years. When I took a photo in 2019 there were several smart grey planters and in 2021 there were none, the whole area being given over to tables and chairs instead.

The grey planters have got a bit battered over the years (look at the far one here) so it is understandable that they would be replaced and that appeared to be happening when I took this photo. Then, a few days later the new ones had gone but the top soil etc. was still there in anticipation.
