People are sitting on these benches.

Councillor Moss, cabinet member for sitting down people said, 'its an outstanding success, only tired people use them because the lazy people can't be bothered to walk the extra 11cm to sit down'

Mobertol said 'I'm glad to help the people of Accrington'

The local MP states categorically that this was a Labour initiative, regardless of what anyone thinks, and tweets that the new benches on Broadway are a success, before hurriedly deleting his tweet after the cabinet member for checking MP's tweets points out that the benches are in front of the market hall and not on Broadway.
excellent
