There was a time recently when I dreamt of benches, sad I know but day in day out we were refurbishing the benches at Connaught Park & lovingly paying a lot of attention to the memorial plaques, making sure they were well taped over & then polished up on completion. It was a tough job having to sand them all down by hand, health & safety rules for volunteers. As a lot of you know, I got tennis elbow which needed cortisone injections, laser & physio treatment & took months to heal but never the less I feel passionate about the benches in Dover. Whether they are in & around the town, on the seafront or in parks etc they are very important to the community of Dover & should be widely available for all to sit & enjoy our surroundings.
I for one hope that we will see these benches once again back in place refurbished & complete with their loving memorial plaques
