Hi Everyone,

Our precious rainbow bench is still being discussed. It’s been reduced to a polarisation between life and fear. That bright bench on the corner was an invitation to play, to chat, to meet neighbours. More than a few of the kiddies who play with our troop are neuro diverse. At the rainbow bench they found friends and belonging. Hey, we liked the original bench but the neighbours said we had to comply with council. So we applied for an official bench and got approval. Now they are using the ‘safety’ issue to stop it going in. Having a bench in that spot is a value add for safety as it gives parents a, best vantage point, place to sit and watch for cars and teach children road safety.
Please ‘stand with those of us who want to sit down’ (thanks Mr V) and sign this petition. ����
