It was quite simple; I could not remember the exact words and that is why I asked if anyone could post 'em on here.
Much more importantly is why Councillor Britcliffe thought it neccessary to spend money on a meaningless plaque, other than to satisfy his own ego trip and possibly gain a few extra votes in the process.
Traditionally, park benches if provided by the council, carried no plaque. People knew it was there for a purpose and no ulterior motive was neccessary. Some benches were and are, privately sponsored, in memory of a loved one, and would carry a message such as "Here, for many years, sat Garinda and his faithful lapdog, Neil". What a shame the plaque didn't carry wording like that.
