A SCHEME aimed at encouraging friendly conversation between strangers has probably come a cropper - at least for the time being - as a result of the lockdown.
In Cleethorpes, there are at least two "chat benches" - one on the central promenade, the other at the junction of High Street and St Peter's Avenue.
But at a time of raging pandemic, idle chit-chat is no longer to be recommended. For social proximity, read social distancing!
In fairness, the High Street location - located where road traffic is plentiful - is probably not the best place for such a bench.
Even in normal times, why would anyone want to shout above the sound of traffic amidst the fumes from vehicle exhausts?
