Thanks to  YT volunteer Ray, the bench in the Community Orchard* has been repaired. Last year, only 2 weeks after its installation, the bench was damaged by fire – possibly by someone lighting a disposable barbecue on it! Ray recently replaced the damaged slats and people can once again sit quietly and now comfortably, among the trees enjoying the peace and quiet.

* the Community Orchard is sited off Heaton Moor Road behind Epsom Way.
