Made using local, needs-must felled, sustainable oak supplied by the wonderful volunteers of the Greenways Countryside Project and with a galvanised steel sub-frame to ensure maximum longevity and minimum maintenance, this 50' long bench follows the curve of the existing wall and it's wave shape is a nod to the town's maritime heritage. The curvaceous shape encourages conversation and so contributes to community wellbeing.
