centre to the surrounding regions, a huge
undertaking that has transformed the local

The landscaping of the new tramway stops called for a number of seating
sophisticated and modern Tramlink is a
solutions that would co-ordinate with other existing elements in Beeston (where
truly landmark project.
Benchmark Design has previously supplied Centerline street furniture). These
products also had to fit with the modern-look new tram system therefore items
from the stainless steel Centerline range were selected, including planters,
curved seating, litter bins, bollards and cycle hoops.
The large planters, which can be made to any dimensions, help soften the urban
setting whilst the curved benches give fluidity throughout.
The Centerline range of street furniture is ideal for such developments due to
the robust nature of the 316 stainless steel construction and timeless design,
allowing for many years of functionality without becoming dated.
