The Town Council is pleased to roll out this nationwide initiative which encourages people to simply stop and pass the time of day in a safe space. If you sit on one of the benches you indicate, you are happy to listen and/or chat rather than walk past someone sitting a bench and wondering whether you would be intruding by speaking to them.
In essence it is a simple, cost-effective way for local communities to engage with each other and hopefully improve their mental health.
Please look out for the benches the next time you go for a walk and take a few minutes to sit on a Happy to Chat bench. Connect with people in your neighbourhood and Love where you Live.
