SIR — I wonder if any of your readers would agree with me that Minehead does not consider its elderly visitors or resident very well.

It does not provide seats for people to rest on on the long walk from the seafront. We would be grateful if they could be provided, legs get very tired in the hot weather when shopping.

One has only to see how quick people are to sit on Woolworths' benches, outside for sale!

The only place I could find chairs was in Boots. A lady came and flopped beside me. "Oh what a relief", she said!

Some of those tin monstrosities from the seafront might be welcome if painted green.

Mrs D M Hayes,

Stonemill Court,

Park Terrace,

Minehead.
