BENCHES in Kings Worthy are getting a facelift.

The parish council is currently stripping the benches back to the wood and treating them with Teak Oil.

On its website the council said: “Up to now they have been painted but we are confident that using Teak Oil will greatly improve the look and longevity of them.

“We continue to strive to keep the village looking pleasant and would like to thank parishioners for their support in working with us to do this.”
