All the benches along The Leas had flowers attached to them like this one as they are memorial benches. However, there has been a certain amount of disquiet with the Council who have recently put up the charges for installing a bench and then banned the installation of any more benches. That was in 2014 but judging by the fact that flowers were attached to every bench, people still find that they are a way to remember their loved ones - see http://www.kentonline.co.uk/sheerness/news/rise-in-charges-for-memorial-11988/ and http://www.kentonline.co.uk/sheerness/news/kirsty-jeffrey-memorial-appeal-18841/ The crumbling cliffs of north-east Sheppey can be seen in the distance.
