I HAVE recently come out of hospital following a knee replacement, consequently I have limited mobility for at least six weeks.

Depending on how I recover and exercise which includes walking over gradually increasing distances.

I live on the Beeches Estate and I have noticed from the town to my house, there is nowhere to sit and no park benches anywhere in the Cirencester area, except in the market place.

I have worked on the town council in the past and there used to be benches on most of the estates, we used to go round to clean and check them regularly.

There is an increasingly elderly population with limited mobility, so im sure the strategic placing of some simple benches would be most welcome.
