Would the persons who stole the garden bench seat and Union Jack flag from Leach Court, a sheltered home in Eastern Road, kindly return them.

The garden is used by the residents to get fresh air and sunshine and they paid for the bench themselves.

This was a despicable act and I hope you think of the consequences.

If you have any conscience you will return the bench and the flag to Leach Court. If you don't want to be known, please put them back the way you took them.
