The new benches - the cracks are showing now

Our riverside reporter Murd Dunbar first broke the news of the rusting benches on Thursday. Since then the Gurn has obtained more shocking pictures of the advanced state of decay that seems to have set in on some of these benches. There are three similar benches down at the harbour and they seem to be fine, they are slightly different however in that the ends are welded shut and there are holes drilled in the base (as Murd has suggested to the Council).
