New Benches Installed
22 June 2011 by Hamst
Council workers have today started to install replacement benches in Festival Gardens, along Ashby Road, to replace the ones that were previous stolen.
New Benches at Festival Gardens
As previously reported Five out of seven brand new benches put in place as part of the makeover along with Central Park had been stolen. The cost of the theft from the 60 year old Festival Gardens was put at around two thousand pounds. Just two weeks later thieves also stole pieces of wood from eight new benches around the newly refurbished fountain in Central Park, although workmen had been to these benches to weld the nuts and bolts secure.
Workmen Install Another New Bench
As most people would agree parks are there for everyone to enjoy, so it is sickening when an offence like this happens and the police are still seeking information as to both thefts.
A spokesman at Festival Gardens explained the new benches would be made more secure by using a different type of bolting method.
