New Picnic Bench Project

A shared project between Whittlesey Street Pride, Whittlesey Town Council &
The Glassmoor Wind Turbine Fund is advancing well (sort of).

Tuesday saw all the old woooden/damaged/vandalised benches removed.
The contactors
Whittlesey based Phil Brannigan Ground Works, dug out 5 new bases.
Wedesday afternoon the delivery of concrete was delivered and all shuttered off.
By early evening some of our ‘local feral louts’ had already damaged one of the bases….
Another one had minor damage (This is before the Benches have been installed!).
Today our excellent contractors repaired the damaged base and dug out the remaining 3 bases.
8 brand new Picnic Benches, (2) being Disabled Access. a lot of money, time and effort.
I just hope our ‘feral louts’ can leave these alone for everyone to enjoy.

Each bench is made from 3,000 recycled British plastic bottles.

The repaired base today.
