What planet is Brighton and Hove City Council on?

Some months ago, it removed paving stones at regular intervals along our street.

A few weeks later bare stakes were installed.

The day water restrictions were announced, several young trees were planted.

These will obviously require copious amounts of water in their early months if they are to survive.

The council has already cancelled the floral displays and baskets of previous years in an effort to save water.

What planet is it on? Not this one.
