View answerThe Office of Public Works has attempted to ensure good provision of benches and seating at Castletown Estate in recent years, however, all previous efforts to install benches in the Castletown demesne were abandoned due to repeated acts of vandalism.
Please be advised that local management continues to seek to address this issue and is examining the possibility of installing benches in areas where they would be less vulnerable to anti-social behaviour.
