Back in March 2024, Jack Beesley and Will Evans presented a plan to the East Farndon Parish Council to renovate the bench on Lubenham Road, East Farndon, as part of their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award. Jack presented a very eye catching design and the project was gratefully accepted by the Parish Council, with a budget agreed of up to £100 for materials. The renovation team of Jack Beesley, Will Evans and Alfie Freeman set to work to clean up the old metal bench and then re-paint using their design.

The finished bench looks superb and many village residents have commented on how good it looks and that the design very much reflects community life within East Farndon. The Parish Council is very grateful to Jack, Will and Alfie for their hard work, innovative design and excellent support for our community. The team were very professional in the planning and execution of their project and definitely achieved all of the objectives set. They have created a lovely on going asset for the residents of East Farndon to enjoy. Well done Jack, Will and Alfie! Posted on behalf of East Farndon Parish Council.
