Is the bench on the sidewalk? It has always been on the private property of the house at that corner of Church Street & Circular Avenue.

Greetings. The Planning & Zoning Department has received your submission and is looking into the reported issue. Thank you.

Whether it’s on private or public property, it is still blight and should be removed. Our neighborhood is not a dump for broken furniture.

Hello Hamden citizen,

That bench wasn't dumped there as broken furniture. It was placed there 9 years ago so that people could sit down.

If it's broken, sure it should be removed; however, adding false information that insinuates the bench was merely dumped there as trash is rude and tarnishes the reputation of the family that lives there.
