Council hunts prankster responsible for spoof park bench plaques

Chester council has not been amused by the comedy plaques a prankster stuck to park benches.

The humorous signs mimic dedications often seen on plaques on park benches - but are actually there to protest Cheshire West and Chester City council’s plans to introduce a Public Space Protection Order, to address antisocial behaviour issues in the local area.

One example -



Others include -

"This bench is reserved for the young, beautiful and affluent. If you are old, ugly or poor please sit elsewhere."

and

"If you shut your eyes for more than ten seconds whilst on this bench, you may be deemed asleep, and risk facing an ASBO. By Order of Public Space Protection Orders under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014."
