A Llangollen resident has complained about the "shocking" state of picnic benches in Riverside Park.

Emailing the county's customer services department with three pictures of the wooden benches she says: "Karen Edwards I would like to draw your attention to the shocking state of the picnic benches in the Riverside park in Llangollen.

"These benches are in a dangerous condition and need urgent repair or better still replacement. 

"When were these benches last inspected? 

"To add insult to injury the moles are having a field day on the grassed area, this also needs to be addressed." 

A spokesperson for Denbighshire County Council said: “The picnic benches at the park are exposed to the elements all year round and recently have been subjected to vandalism. Repairs to the benches are scheduled to take place in the near future with the help of Llangollen Tidy Town Team.

“A visit will be conducted to the park to look at possible solutions to the mole hills.”
