New benches in Crosspool

Two benches have been installed in the neighbourhood by Crosspool Forum, at a cost of just under £2,000.

The first is located at the top of Stephen Hill and the other on the corner of Sandygate Road/Manchester Road.

The Stephen Hill bench, which was stolen five years ago, is dedicated in memory of the late Hugh Buxton.
