Vandalism fears have prompted Ringwood Town Council to reject a plea for benches to be sited at two popular dog walking sites in the town.
Councillors had been asked to put benches at Forestside Gardens and on The Mount to give walkers and dog walkers an opportunity to rest.
However, town clerk Terry Simpson told members that benches in the suggested places could encourage antisocial behaviour and vandalism.
