Newsome Greens win new seats!

Cllr Karen Allison on the new bench up High Lane - more to come!

The dilapidated public benches at Newsome Crossroads and halfway up Lockwood Scar are to be replaced with new ones.

These will be made by a local firm and will be paid for out of the small ward budget that Newsome’s Green councillors have for local projects.

Councillor Andrew Cooper said, 

“ The two new benches will add to the one on High Lane that was installed last year in memory of Stuart Roebuck of Hall Bower Chapel.

Councillor Karen Allison added,

“These benches will be useful stopping points for those people who need a breather while trekking up towards Castle Hill.”
