<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9530222, member: 2844&quot;]About the park benches: they weren&#039;t part of the original plans, nor were footpaths through the greenery.</p><p>The council and planners are mostly boring Dutch, but our neighbourhood isn&#039;t. It is very mixed, and we have many people from Turkey, Kurdistan, the Med, etc. Cultures where people enjoy an evening stroll and meet people along the way, have a friendly chat etc.</p><p>Our side of the street has always had a wide footpath, perfect for three young ladies to stroll arm in arm and meet others. A lovely sight. </p><p>When the initial plans were published, there were protests that they wouldn&#039;t be able to take their evening stroll anymore, and could benches be placed too please. The council planners listened(!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie99" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) and the plans were changed so our neighbourhood would stay &#039;our neighbourhood&#039;.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
