In case you thought someone was in desperate need of some garden furniture for the coming barbeque season - here is what has happened to the benches that were in front of the Mission in Newlyn:
"Following the demise of Penwith District Council, it became apparent that ownership of these benches was being denied by Cornwall Council given that their refurbishment had been carried out on an ad-hoc basis by Penwith with no identifiable budget provision.
Given their condition and the likelihood that they would further deteriorate without attention, the Town Council took the step to remove the benches most in need of attention and are currently refurbishing them. The first of the refurbished benches will be back in place this week and it is intended to complete them all on a rolling programme.
I hope this information can be relayed via the Newlyn Website and we might potentially do some PR when we have a few of them refurbished and back in place.
Kind regards,
Simon Glasson
Penzance Town Clerk
