Benches are found near to areas where pedestrian footfall is expected such as our River Embankment and in the pedestrian areas of Bedford Town Centre. We aim to use designs and styles to suit the environment. 

Rural parishes purchase their own public seats/benches. Some parishes will maintain furniture as well as bins. You may contact them in the first instance, or contact the Highways Helpdesk on Highways.helpdesk@bedford.gov.uk or telephone 01234 718003.
