The UK Border Agency plans to encircle Lunar House in Croydon with 27 giant concrete flower beds so it can stop a car filled with explosives smashing into it. These massive plant pots would be 'placed strategically' around the 20-storey HQ for 'security purposes' while having a 'positive effect' visually, its planning application to the local council says.
