TOWN SEATS
Amble Town Council own about 50% of the seats found throughout the town; these were originally purchased either by a joint grant funded project or were kindly paid for by donations and dedications from people within the town. In April 2012, we will also become responsible for all the seats currently in the ownership of Northumberland County Council.
Those seats owned by your Council are in black steel as it was felt this would last longer and be less prone to destructive vandalism and graffiti. The seats we will acquire in April will be renovated where practicable or gradually replaced with a similar design to that used now.
Present costs for supply and installation of each seat is approximately £500 but steel prices fluctuate considerably. Unfortunately, although the seats are checked and painted if necessary, there are occurrences of vandalism/ graffiti- please help us to maintain a good standard by discouraging this adverse behaviour and reporting any damage to police or the Town Clerk.
