There are over 200 public benches in the parish of St Ives. St Ives has taken over the ownership and management of the benches from Cornwall Council and is undertaking a programme of maintenance and replacement.
To contact us to report a problem or ask us to replace a bench, use the report it form below.
Memorial Benches
Many benches in the parish are known as memorial benches and they have a dedication to a friend or loved one. Dedications help the Council to fund repairs and replacements to public benches.
To find out more about purchasing a memorial bench dedication, you can download a copy of the Council’s policy and pricing document. If you would like to be added to the memorial bench waiting list, which is processed in date order, you can complete a waiting list form. Once the Council has contacted you about an available bench or plot, we will ask you to complete a full application form.
