The bench was the idea of Life After, a charity set up by Christopher Sherrard to support people who have lost loved ones on the road. Christopher says the bench will provide a place for people to ‘ponder’, near a memorial tree which was planted previously.
The bench and tree can be visited in St Columb’s Park House garden. For more information on Life After visit www.facebook.com/LifeAfterrtc.
