I WOULD like to thank the kind people who checked on me when I collapsed in town.

I went down because of the lack of seating in Parliament Street. Between St Sampson’s Square to the fountain I saw one seat. Where have all the double benches gone?

I urge the council to get more seats in Parliament Street. I see the new one seats two or three people, where the old ones seated six people. The council appears to have replaced bigger older benches with smaller newer ones – and fewer of them too, hence less seating.

I hope the council takes this letter on board.

Name and address supplied.
