SAW- Her Ground- Reading Corner- Bench

Commissioned by Somerset Art Works, to work with the local community of North Taunton to discuss and discover how we can make Lyngford Park a safer space for women and girls in particular. Through creative workshops and conversations, Lucy has worked with the public over the past two years to learn what would make them use the park more.

The conclusion being seating, planters, positive message signs and murals. 

Phase 1 of this project is nearly complete with the bespoke bench and planter designed by Lucy with the community have been installed as part of a reading corner behind Priorswood Libary at Lyngford Park. A floor mural and signs are being installed in the Spring with  more seating and signs being installed in the main park later in 2026. 

The concrete bench and planter have been fabricated by Morris Concrete in Somerset.
