Title: Town Centre Benches (2018)

2018 Town Centre Bench Maintenance

Yesterday Friends of Marple Memorial Park re-treated 10 of the 14 Town Centre benches that we have previously refurbished.

The remaining 4, which were left to ensure that there were some people could still sit at, will be done as soon as the weather permits.

We have not refurbished any more benches this year. There are 3 on the Hollins that still need doing and if we can find sponsors for these we will do them next year.

This year there has been an extensive growth of weeds under some of the benches, which you can see in the photos. We have asked the council a number of times to spray these. We're not sure if they have done so but if they have then they have grown back with a vengeance and we will ask them to deal with this again.
