R.A.T.S. (Residents against town seating) Kidderminster

An eyesore , a safety hazard, and a waste of money

Waste of money

Absolutely hideous, and a hazard for pedestrians.

I didn't even realise this was seating at first - it looks like the workmen have just left materials scattered around. It makes Kidderminster look a complete mess.

Real danger to children and older people if they happen to fall they could be seriously injured. They look absolutely rubbish and an eyesore and no way can you use them as seats to sit on.

What an eyesore! I've seen one with "The Beefheart Band" displayed, even though it should be "The Magic Band" - They can't even get the info right! By the way, how much did these ridiculous seats cost?

Kidderminster Town Centre needs comfortable seating for its residents and not a pile of CDs which look as though they are something that's been left behind from the refurbishment works. They are an eyesore and more importantly a safety hazard!

I can't believe Kidderminster has wasted so much money on quite frankly a very poor job.

I canott any sense in having these so called seats, they stand out like a sore thumb, they are dangerous to the elderly, and with people with wheel chairs, plus they are unsightly, evertime we go past them they seem to be in the way. I also have to say some of the block paving is starting to be uneven already.

Not fit for purpose, ugly and unattractive. The 70's retro design is making Kidderminster look dated and old. Dangerous corners to walk past, sitting on them is uncomfortable - very silly design as a seat - as its uneven and sticking out under legs. Freezing cold to sit on in winter and probably too hot in summer, no back support for elderly who really need the seating. More appropriate would of been circular seats with either plants or small trees or large retractable umbrella in the middle to give shade in the Summer

What musical heritage ? The seating is not attractive or fit for purpose.

Poor seating and poor refurbishment of town centre in general

These so called seats are truly awful, and dangerous. It would be interesting to know how much of our hard earned cash the Wyre Forest District Council have spent on them.

They're awful!!

Let's be honest... I don't think anyone had ever seen anyone sat on them! They're not seats are they?! I don't know what they are, apart from crap!

Terrible way to celebrate Kidderminster Roll out the carpets!!!

Oh and I'm a lifelong Kidderminster resident. Don't know why it says Shrewsbury next to my name!!!

Hideous street junk. Looks like rubbish left behind from the builders. Kidderminster doesn't really have a musical heritage. Should have been carpet themed, rolls of 'carpet' could have made some very stylish seating.

A real eyesore and safety hazard. It is a wonder health and safety dept.have not picked it up.

Waste of money. Have been wondering that the hell these are for ages. You never see anyone sitting on them!!
