Considering they are intended to stop homeless people from sleeping on them, do you think these should be banned?

It's nice to have armrests

[bitontheslide]

it partitions the bench up so that no-one can hog it which seems sensible to me

[Saph]

idk it doesn't affect me so i'm not overly bothered but I can see why people would want them banned

[LeatherTrumpet]

Parks are for families to enjoy and they do not want to see a tramp sleeping or drinking/taking drugs

great idea

[Nicky91]

yes, i once saw a bench similar to this and i sat on the armrest in the middle, i had lots of pain from that and i cried because of the pain




this is the sort of comfortable bench, seats what we have in our garden, something similar to this

[Ashley.]

You're not supposed to sit on the armrest Nicky

would you be ok if some tramps came and sat on them and drank beer?

no i want homeless people to sleep on a more comfortable bench in the park then and not with these armrests in the middle which might also be uncomfortable for the homeless

and ruin the park for mothers and babies?

wow, how mean

[Wizard.]

It’s just another thing in society that is trying to push homeless people out of sight so that people don’t have to “deal” with seeing it or recognise the real issue. These benches, spikes in doorways. Where do we want these people to go? It’s not going to make them go and live in a house. If the source of the problem isn’t being sorted out at least let the homeless be near people that can offer them food / money to survive.

No they do not - a park is a space for all and the benches are for sitting not boozing or sleeping
