Swindon council installs "risky" bench in historic area, drawing criticism from residents.

Locals in Swindon, known as one of the UK's worst towns, criticize a council project installing a "risky" bench facing a wall in a historic area. The project aims to improve visitors' experience, but the bench's location on a pavement protruding into the road is deemed dangerous and pointless by residents. Swindon Borough Council states the area is unfinished and will make more sense once the project is complete.
