It is unacceptable that the new owners of Bramley Shopping Centre have removed all of the benches, which so many shoppers, including older and disabled people, rely upon each time they visit. I am working with Bramley Councillors to press for the benches to be reinstated, and I am hopeful that we can work together to find a solution.

I am also pleased to see the community joining together to show the strength of their feelings by holding a sit-in protest each week and was glad to join this week.
