Seven new benches have been installed at a park in West Dunbartonshire.

A grant of over £2,800 was given from the Scottish Government's Cycling, Walking and Safer Streets fund and sustainable charity Sustrans.

The funding enabled the council to purchase six recycled benches, while a timber memorial bench has been provided by Dumbarton East Community Council.


Three new bins are also to be installed on the shore side path, which will help to keep the area clean and tidy.

Councillor Leader Martin Rooney said: "The Council is always looking at ways to improve our parks and other outdoor spaces.

"Now that these benches have been installed hopefully it will encourage more people to use Posties Park.

"Having additional bins in place as well will also help to ensure that it remains litter-free."
