In a heartwarming update for the residents of Newquay, the Town Council has announced the revival of the much-loved rainbow bench, which had become a local symbol of pride and inclusivity. The bench, previously located on the Killacourt, had been temporarily removed during the area’s makeover.
In a delightful twist, the council’s Environment Service Team successfully preserved the original wood from the bench and repurposed it into a new, smaller bench now situated at the Gannel. This conservation effort not only retains a piece of Newquay’s community spirit but also exemplifies sustainable practices in town development.
The team behind this project proudly showcased their handiwork, symbolising their commitment to maintaining the town’s charm and character. The rainbow bench’s relocation to the Gannel invites both locals and visitors to enjoy this colourful piece of street furniture in its new, scenic surroundings.
Moreover, the council teased the possibility of more vibrant benches appearing around the town in the future. This initiative seems to be part of a broader effort to infuse Newquay with colourful, community-focused installations, enhancing the visual appeal and inclusiveness of public spaces.
Residents and visitors alike are encouraged to keep an eye out for these forthcoming additions, which are set to bring more colour and character to Newquay’s streets and public areas. The rainbow bench’s revival at the Gannel marks just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting and visually engaging enhancement of the town’s public spaces.
