Resolved:
(i) That the petition and the information set out within the report highlighting the reasons for installation of the bench arms be noted.
(ii) That option 1, to retain the bench arms, as set out at paragraph 25 of the report, be agreed.
Reason: To ensure that the city continues to take a proactive approach to supporting individuals who are homeless, street drinkers or who find themselves in difficulty whilst at the same time ensuring that the benches are available for use by bus users and where possible be compliant with the guidance adopted by the council in the Streetscape Strategy & Guidance document.
