This isn't political.

Cllr. Clare Pritchard was quoted in the paper, but we were told it was nothing to do with her.

Then Dave mentioned a town centre manager, then Gayle posted it can't be them because there currently isn't one.

All I want to know is who is reponsible, so I can contact them directly and say I think it was a daft thing to do.

Yes, what I think is influenced by the fact that I've genuinely used them to sit on, because of mobility issues arising from having Parkinson's disease, whilst the person I was with kindly got the rest of my shopping.

I've honestly never had any trouble with any drunks whilst sat there, nor did I notice any smell of pee.

I don't care who, or what decided to remove them. I just want to know so I can try and pursuade the person/body concerned to put them back, sooner, rather than later.

So I can park my big sorry arse down there again, if needed, along with the many other non-drunks who used them to rest awhile.
...and yes MargaretR, regarding your stupid comment that Parkinson's is a chip on my shoulder, which makes me argumentative.

I've always been this way, when trying to right something that's plainly wrong, but I did mention the fact I have a disease which affects my mobility on this occasion, because it was relevant to the subject being discussed.

Which in this case is the removal of benches, appreciated by many, but removed because of the few.
