KOVE’s campaign has opened up a good debate about seating. Our ‘Living Seats’ film covers the campaign, the installation of the first bench and local residents’ feedback – young and old. Our launch event which was filmed by older volunteers was also covered by the local press with their photographer attending: “Pensioners are at last sitting pretty.” This has also served to raise the profile of community seating and encourage a renewed sense of ownership and pride in the area.
