Re: HBC have taken away the benches from outside the market

Groove was talking to one of the former bench dwellers in town this morning, who blamed one person in particular for being rowdy and aggressive, swearing and the final straw was him puking up beside the butty van were people were sat eating their dinners etc.

Re: HBC have taken away the benches from outside the market

I might be wrong but I don't think there actually is a Town Centre Manager at the moment.

The four man team in the Regeneration department currently only has two team members. One left in Jan and there used to be a dedicated Town Centre Manager but he retired earlier this year and I don't think either have been replaced. So I suspect that between them the two remaining have picked up some of the Town Centre Management stuff.

Re: HBC have taken away the benches from outside the market

Those trees outside the Market Hall are horse-chestnuts.

An innocent little kiddie could be blinded for life, if they looked up just as a conker felt the pull of gravity.

The council should fell 'em.

It's a terrible incident waiting to happen.

They are all sat on an empty market stall this afternoon, presumably they will take all them away soon. At least it will make space for the bus station

Re: HBC have taken away the benches from outside the market

A little bird told me this afternoon that the councillors were only informed "After" the benches had been removed, in fact knew sod all about it prior. n i regard my source as very credible.

Like I said the story in the LT was a load of bull, and I don't think the councillors really should have defended the decision

No they shouldn't.

They should have said who was responsible.

Who had the authority to remove them?

Did pixies, working for Alcohol Anonymous, come under the cover of darkness, and take them away?

All I want to know, as someone who uses them, is when are they coming back?

The pixies probably had HBC on the pointed hats
