Oh super.

Have the council come to an arrangement with any other commercial premises in Accrington, in which they are happy for people to sit and rest, without spending a penny?

Is there a list available Cllr. Moss?

As for 'doomsayers', other than anyone involved with running the council, I'm yet to read any post that supports the decision to remove these benches, and think it a good idea with which to rid the town centre of drinkers.

Mainly because it hasn't worked.
