A second bench inspired by the Ricky Gervais Netflix series Afterlife has been destroyed by vandals in Nottingham. The seat, which was installed in Highfields Park in January last year, was meant for anyone who has recently lost someone or who may be struggling with their mental health.
But a few weeks ago it was completely destroyed during an attack that also saw litter bins ripped from the ground and thrown into the lake, Nottingham City Council said. It was one of two benches given to Nottingham as part of a project between Netflix and mental health charity Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM).
The other, situated in the Arboretum, had to be replaced last August after it was left in pieces by vandals. However, due to the fact there are no spares left, Highfields cannot receive a new one.
