Hide AdPat Johnson: "Good, I realise that maybe they thought it was safer from a Covid infection perspective, this has happened everywhere and condemned a whole section of society to remain at home, isolated forever, many are unable due to age or mobility to walk round without needing a breather... Bring back seating everywhere please."
Ulla Boutwood: "Good of the council!"
Janet Tasker: "Way to go, a huge thank-you to all the local councillors, to Bramley Elderly Action and all the people who campaigned and signed petitions to get the benches reinstated."
Dot Dot Whitaker: "That would be great news."
Kieran James: "Panic over, order has been restored!"
Scott Raven: "Hooray"
Ann Lambert: "Maybe the Victoria Centre in Harrogate could add some seating too."
Sharon Milnes: "Same in Huddersfield town centre"
Neil Mallinson: "Bring back the benches!!!!"
Dan Crowther: "Success!"
