Council sponsored seats
Tonbridge & Malling Borough Council (TMBC)
welcome the installation of sponsored seats
and many are already located at various
Country Parks and areas of public open
space around the borough. The following
information has been produced to assist you
in your decision to have a seat installed and
for ease of use takes the form of ‘frequently
asked questions’.
Q1. Where can I locate the seat?
These guidelines refer to seats sited at parks,
recreation grounds and public open spaces
owned and maintained by TMBC’s Leisure
Services, a list of which can be found on the
reverse of this sheet. The Council are unable
to install seats at other sites, so you will need
to seek the agreement of the landowner- this
may be your local Parish Council.
To identify and agree a precise location at
one of the Council’s sites, please use the
contact details on the reverse.
Q2. Can I choose the seat style?
As seats already exist in the parks, we do try
to achieve continuity when installing new
ones. This means that we do have standard
seat styles for some of our sites. These styles
vary between sites, as more rustic seats are
used in countryside sites, so we may insist on
a particular style/range. An idea of the style of
seats can be gained by visiting the site to
see what currently exists. Some examples
are shown on the reverse.
suitable arrangements for relocation of the
plaque in consultation with you.
Q3. How much will the seat cost?
Q5. Who provides the plaque and what
size can it be?
The price of a seat will include the
purchase and installation costs (which will
include concrete bases in some locations),
prices also vary due to the style of the seat
(please see Q2). We do not add on any
costs for officer time or administration. A
price guide can be found on the reverse of
this sheet but the actual cost may vary
depending on the manufacturer’s quoted
price at the time of delivery. The prices also
include the purchase and production of the
plaque (please see Q5).
The Council will provide the plaque and
arrange for it to be engraved and fitted
(this is included in the price guide on the
reverse). Due to the available space on
the seat, the size of the plaque will be
limited and this will influence the number
of words that can be used. An example of
a plaque is shown on the reverse. We do
ask that confirmation of the words to be
used is sent through to us either by letter
or e-mail.
Q4. Who will be responsible for the
maintenance of the seat?
The Council will be responsible for
maintenance of the seat after it has been
installed, and the seat will receive the same
level of attention as other seats within the
site.
Unfortunately, though, the Council cannot
take responsibility for the plaque itself and
if this were to be damaged we would not
have the funds for a replacement.
Also, if the bench was seriously damaged
or had deteriorated through age we cannot
guarantee that the bench will be replaced.
We would, however, endeavour to make
Q6 How long will it take for the seat to
be installed?
Unfortunately, an exact time cannot be
specified and this will vary for each
individual installation. Timescale will be
dictated by the availability of external
manufacturers/contractors and production
times, which can not be controlled by
Tonbridge & Malling Borough Council.
