Hanging baskets, owned by Douglas Council, will only be allowed in non-residential streets in the Island’s capital.
The new policy was brought forward at the December public meeting of the local authority by Councillor Andrew Bentley.
He said: “We need to maintain an objective view of which areas get a hanging basket.'
The new policy means Princes Street, the only residential street to have council owned baskets, will no longer have them.
Each basket is watered every other day from the end of May to the end of September from 6am to 8am.
Residents in this area have complained ‘about the noise generated’ from council staff watering the baskets.
Hanging baskets will only be maintained and displayed in ‘commercial areas’, the quay and promenade area, Sea Terminal, council and government buildings and Noble’s Park.
