Alderley Edge Parish Council has repaired the memorial bench to Nurse Maud Hatton, which is located outside the Royal Bank of Scotland on the junction of London Road and Heyes Lane.
David Clarke asked the Parish Council to repair, or replace, the bench via a post in our discussion forum in December.
David described the bench as being in a 'disgraceful condition' and 'a complete affront to the memory of Nurse Hatton in its current state'.
It is believed the bench was funded through the parish and local well-wishers following the death of Nurse Maud Hatton in 1992.
Nurse Hatton was well known in the village, she took over as district nurse from her mother and is described as being a 'great asset to the village' by Harold Smith, chairman of Alderley Edge History Society.
Cllr Melanie Connor organised the replacement bench which was paid for by Alderley Edge Parish Council.
She said "I'm really pleased to see the new bench now in place. It's seems to have taken ages, but everything has to go on quotes, ordering, delivery etc. Plus it has to be a good strength as it is a well used resting post!
"Nurse Hatton is remembered fondly by many residents and those of us who didn't know her appreciate the sentiment that put the bench there originally.
"I'm really pleased that its in place for the Jubilee lunch and for the May Day Fair."
