TWO new picnic benches have recently been put in place in Coronation Park, Launceston.

They were purchased with money donated to the park trustees from the Tesco store in the town.

Store manager, Nick Dawe said: "As part of the re-launch of our new look store we were able to choose some local groups to support; we thought long and hard about this and the Coronation Park Trust was one of the charities that we considered that everyone in the town would benefit from.
