Councillor James Calder has welcomed replacement benches, partly funded from a City Centre improvement fund, being placed on the High Street thid week. These were identified needing during a walkabout with local councillors including James Calder and he was pleased that work has now taken place after the previous benches were in significant disrepair.

James Calder said:

The benches in the High Street were in really poor condition and I was keen that we utilise some of our funding we have locally to do something about it.

Local residents rightly want to see our City Centre look great and having the benches replaced will be more comfortable and create a better impression.

I am pleased the new benches were installed this week in time for the Gala, one of our best events throughout the year.

We will continue to work on local improvements in our City Centre in coming months.
