Vandals smash memorial benches on Stratford's Greenway

A STRATFORD widow has described the Greenway path on the edge of Stratford as a “no-go area” after a bench dedicated to her late husband’s memory was vandalised.

Lisa Geldard paid £450 for the bench two months after her husband Brian’s death from Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma at the age of 59 in March 2017.

The bench was installed to give those who sat on it a view of the finishing post of Stratford Racecourse, because Brian had been a jockey as a young man.
