Commemorative town centre bench to be removed due to Platinum Jubilee typo
It is not so 'lovely jubliee' for a council which is having to remove a commemorative bench thanks to a typo.
Shifnal Town Council has confirmed that it has instructed the removal of one of its town-centre benches after it became aware it features the words 'Platinum Jubliee 2022' and not 'Platinum Jubilee 2022' as intended.
The seating is one of a number of ornate benches that feature as part of the newly redeveloped town centre – which saw a range of improvements carried out under a £3.6m scheme from Shropshire Council.
The town council said that the bench in question would be rectified under the warranty with the manufacturer.
The metal bench features detailed cut-outs which include three crowns on the backrest, and the wording on the seat.
A spokesman for Shifnal Town Council said: "The council are aware of the mistake and have instructed the removal of the bench for rectification works under the manufacturer warranty."
