I am glad people like the bench. I have had two others installed along Lordship Lane, One outside the Sogim Pharmacy replacing the bench that was damaged by a car and one outside the Sainsbury's Local. They were paid for from the Council's Cleaner, Greener,Safer fund. Research has shown older people are more likely to venture out of their homes if they know the are places to rest up along the way.

Exactly this. I know many people who are afraid to leave their home with long term health conditions because they fear feeling faint or worse on long walks, or even essential walks tot he shops and back. I can assure you I?ve used this bench, and this is the sort of thing councils should be spending money on. Thumbs up from me.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
