REMOVING benches from the Hardshaw Centre is a stupid act as these facilities were a central attraction used by many people shopping there. Many of them are elderly and need a resting point, not one they have to pay for.
I understand that this removal has been done to free up space.
Perhaps customers will be encouraged to shop elsewhere.
What a crass action to take but maybe it is because all those people sitting around the centre, not spending, are a nuisance clogging up valuable retail space.
