Local election candidates have welcomed the installation of a new bench to help those with mobility problems in Burntwood take a break.

It has been installed at Bells Lane as part of a partnership project with local councils and housing group Bromford.

Cllr Di Evans, Labour candidate for Boney Hay and Central ward, said:

> “As part of our dementia-friendly community initiative, we at Burntwood Town Council wanted to install some benches around the town to help those with mobility problems.  
>  
> “We’re really pleased with the result and the feedback we’ve had so far.”  
>  
> Cllr Di Evans

Fellow Labour candidate Sharon Taylor said:

> “It is so important for people’s health and wellbeing that they feel able to get out and about, particularly as spring has now arrived – it can make a huge difference even if it’s only a walk to the corner to sit and chat with neighbours.”  
>  
> Sharon Taylor

Her husband and co-candidate, Cllr Paul Taylor, said:

> “I’m also really pleased to see this bench is now in place – and grateful for a chance of a breather too!”  
>
