Happy to chat bench set up in wexford to encourge social distanced meetings

Wexford County Council have introduced a new Happy to Chat bench in Maudlintown.

The 3 metre bench is designed so that members of the public can have a place to talk while keeping their social distancing measures in place. A similar scheme was set up in Wales and Wicklow and has been a resounding success. The benches will be placed in the major urban areas around the county shortly. Labour councillor for Wexford Town George Lawlor says it's a positive move which will benefit a great many people: [audio wav="https://www.southeastradio.ie/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/George-Lawlor-Benches.wav"][/audio]
