Saturday 24th June, 10.00 - 13.30. Seating arrangements
During the Hut shift we were approached by a woman who queried the lack of seating with back rests in the picnic areas. She and her husband had visited with her 92-yr-old mother who was very frail and unable to remain upright on back-less benches (On this occasion one of her carers had to stand behind the lady to prevent her from falling backwards). In future I wonder if it's possible for this lady to borrow one of the Hut's chairs? Or even, at a future date, have a bench with a back rest for the elderly?
Just a though.

Sorry to hear that. Of course, she would have been more than welcome to use one of the chairs from the hut.
ReplyDeleteWe currently have 33 perch benches dotted around the reserve that are in need of replacement (not counting those around the centre..). I have thought we could replace some of these with a design that incorporates a backrest, however I haven't had much time to research. If you have any suggestions on design and supplier, please let me know (keeping in mind cost and labour as key considerations).
