An award winning beauty spot has been provided with new benches.

Waseley Hills Country Park is one of five beauty spots to benefit from the enhancements that also include new picnic tables.

The benches were sponsored by Worcestershire County Council's county waste management contractor, Severn Waste Services, who provided funds for the 12 benches, totalling £5,000.

Councillor Lucy Hodgson, cabinet member for localism and communities, said: "We are thrilled to be working once again with Severn Waste to offer local residents across the county these beautiful real-wood benches and picnic tables.

"Worcestershire really does hold some beauty spots and these benches are a great way for ramblers and families alike to stop and take in the sights of the county.

"We would like to take this opportunity to thank Severn Waste and we look forward to working with them in the near future with such great projects."

The benches have been made locally and have been embossed with the Severn Waste Environmental Fund logo on them.

Ian Barber, marketing director at Severn Waste, said: "As part of the Severn Waste Environmental Fund, managed by the charity Welcome to Our Future, we are really pleased to be able to offer these benches to the residents of Worcestershire.

"We will continue to invest in the local community and make Worcestershire a great place to live for future generations to come."
