Seven new benches have been placed around Alnwick.

They have been funded and installed by Alnwick Town Council.

Some of the new seats are replacing old seats while others provide additional seating.

"We are so lucky to live in a beautiful town and these seats give people, local and visitors alike, the opportunity to sit down and admire the view.”

The council is also installing 12 new litter bins.

Again, some are additional and some are replacements but the existing bins being replaced will be used elsewhere.
